Gay,
I have record of John M. Shanahan from Glenkeen.He married Catherine Kennedy in Borrisoleigh in 1850. A couple of years latter they emigrated to the United States and settled in Baltimore County, Maryland. My gr-grandfather was Timothy Joseph Shanahan. Timothy, John and about ten other Shanahans from the Borrisoleigh / Thurles area all settled in the same parish here between 1847 and 1852.
I have just learned that Bishop Joseph Shanahan was from Borrisoleigh. He was born in 1871, ordained in 1900 and became a bishop in 1920. I have not connected him yet but feel sure he is also related.
Please respond with any further information you have.
Thank You,Dan
