Carney Family Genealogy Forum
  
I am researching the Carney or Kearney Family who migrated from Mount Charles, County Donegal, Ireland approximately 1890’s to work in Butte or Helena Montana at the Anaconda mines and/or possible others. Their names are Manus, John, Patrick, James, Hugh, Ann, Cassy, Una and Susan. Ann was married in Ireland before coming here. Ann’s married name was either Crimmins or McCrimmins. Manus and John were killed sometime around 1890. Patrick and James (my great grandfather)returned to Mt. Charles. After James returned, he married Mary Sweeney. Hugh, Cassy, Ann Crimmons, Una and Susan remained in the Butte or Helena area. One of the girls married a man whose last name was Howard and might have come from Canada. My grandfather, Dominick Michael or Michael Dominick not sure which name was really first) visited the Carney and Howard families in the early 1920’s when he immigrated to Canada from Mt. Charles, County Donegal. He mentioned something about a newspaper or a relative being a reporter for a newspaper. He left shortly to look for work in New York. If anyone has any information about any of the family members I have mentioned, please e-mail me. Thank you in advance
