Orla-
We may or may not be distantly related, but my ggg grandparents THOMAS SCANLON/JOHANNA KEENE settled in Oswego N.Y., which is right across Lake Ontario from Canada. This was about 1855. They had at least these children: mary, james, patrick, bridget, michael, and john.
The "Scanlon" spelling is different than yours, but they came from County Clare, as did your people.
Here is where you can help me. We heard that they came in through Canada, but we don't know for sure. However, if you can tell me what you know about the dates and shipping information, the ports of exit in Ire and the port of entry in canada, maybe this will help me, assuming that maybe my ancestors did the same thing. Let me know whatever you know...God Bless...JM KUNO
