I am a KEANE but not one of the Mayo KEANEs.
My wife descends from a Martin HOWLEY, bapt. Nov. 1863 at Killasser (note spelling I have), son of Patrick HOWLEY (said to be from Cloogee, near Foxford, Co.Mayo) and Anne McDONNELL.There is a family tradition of a French descent, probably (if true) in the generation before Patrick from the 1798 French landing at Killala Bay. Anyone have any links to these families?
