Michael O'Halloran, Renvyle Connemara, Co. Galway, Ireland
I'm trying to find information about my great grandfather Michael O'Halloran. Michael was born on July 31,1905 he was the second oldest of either 13 or 16 children. He was the youngest of the two sons. Michael came to America in 1925 and I am trying to figure out why. He and his brother Thomas were both active members of the IRA but when the civil war broke legend has it that they were told to kill one another, so my g grandfather fled to America and his brother Thomas up into the mountains. While in the mountains Thomas lost his. Eventually Thomas ended up in Scotland. Both Michael and Thomas changed the spelling of their last names to Holleran. In America Micahel married Beatrice McPartland od Co. Lietrim. So I want to find out more about my great granfathers life, all of his living siblings are either to young to remember him or weren't a live when he left Ireland. Any informatio would be greatly appreciated. You can e-mail me at [email protected]. Thank you.
