Ireland-Brooklyn Meehans
My name is Anne Meehan Merritt and I am trying to research any/all of my Meehan relatives. My great-great grandfather James Meehan sailed from Galway to NY in May 1859 with his wife Mary and 9 children, including my great-grandfather Bernard. The family settled in Brooklyn and seemed to stay there even though I can't find any trace of the parents after that. Bernard married Bridget Kelly in 1875 in Brooklyn and they had my grandfather James Francis Meehan in 1878. I would love to hear from anyone with the slightest tidbit of info about related Meehans in Ireland as well as any in NY. Thank you and good luck on your own searches!
