Hi, Jo, Albert Napoleon Mooney was my great grandfather.My grandmother, Clennie Maudie Mooney Long, b. 1895, was born in Grant County, either LA or AR.Grandma told me her mother's name was Mattie Lowry.I know that Albert died when grandma was very young, and I suspect (through my dad) that she had much older brothers.After Albert's death, grandma went to live in Crossett, Ashley County, AR.I do not know if she was sent there to live with relatives, or if Mattie went with her.After she married my grandfather (Chalmus Allen Long, also from Crossett), they moved to the West Monroe, Ouachita Parish, LA, area.It seems to me that she once told me that she had a sister named Myrtle, but I might be mistaken since my grandfather had a sister named Maudie Myrtle Long.Grandma died two days before Christmas in 1969.Since she was the last surviving sibling, I am at the end of the road in terms of tracking my Irish ancestry.Any information you have about her would be very helpful.How are you related?Thanks!!Debbie
