Recently I had an email from a lady called Susan Twomey of California who traces her McKenna ancestors back to North Kerry. Here are some extracts from our correspondence.

 

 

 

"My great-great grandfather Patrick McKenna from Listowel was born c. 1802, married Sarah/Sally M Stack from Duagh...they married c. 1832 and had their 14 children in Ireland before moving to America c. 1862 and settling in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.  Pat died in 1865 in Negaunee, Marquette County, Michigan. Pat and Sally were my mother's great grandparents."

 

.........

 

"Another cousin Sister Mary Brendan Brosnan who came from Kerry to America when she was 13 to enter the Mercy Convent in Los Angeles was somehow connected with a Father Hegarty also from Kerry, priest of the San Diego diocese here, who is responsible for the gravestone for Thomas and Jane McKenna and their children in the cemetery of Kilshenane (sp?).  Sister Mary Brendan was always part of our family gatherings when I was growing up in southern California.  I am not sure how she was related either...but she was close to my grandmother Jane/Jenny McKenna Lynch, my mother's mother. "

 

 

 

.........

 

 

 

Re: Brosnans - my relative was born in 1897, Mary Elizabeth Brosnan, from Knochreagh, Irremore, Listowel, Kerry.  Parents John and Nellie (Ellen?). She came to America in 1908 to join her aunt  (Sister Mary Pius) who had joined the Sisters of Mercy some years before.  Mary Elizabeth/Sister Mary Brendan Brosnan was 13 when she arrived, but they would not let her enter the community as a postulant until she was 15, in 1910.  She died in 1970 while visiting relatives in Philadephia, Pennsylvania...she had been living in Burlingame, near San Francisco, California.  She was a teacher most of her life. Last year her community sent me a copy of a short biography of her...I am happy to send you a copy of the couple of pages.

Susan was as good as her word and sent me the account of Sr. Mary Brendan Brosnan's life. I'll post it on the blog tomorrow.

A Kennelly travels back to his North Kerry roots

 

 

 

Senior Editor of The Huffington Post Craig Kanalley recently journeyed from the US to Ireland to explore his family heritage. Here, he shares the highlights of the experience, which include meeting relatives, touring the countryside and learning a few things about the land of his ancestors.

 

Since I was a kid, I've dreamed of going to Ireland. My last name is Irish and I've long been curious about my roots, particularly my Irish heritage, as I never knew my paternal grandfather. He was nearly 100 percent Irish. When my Dad found a great deal on LivingSocial for a trip for one to Ireland (through Great Value Vacations), and passed it along, I felt it was tailor-made for me. It allowed the flexibility of a rental car to drive the country and B&B vouchers to stay anywhere I chose. It would allow me to visit townlands my ancestors are from (and that's what I did, including Eyrecourt, Co. Galway; Killanena, Co. Clare; Tinahely, Co. Wicklow). When I booked the trip, I also tried something with hopes of finding more about my roots -- a DNA test. To my surprise, the FamilyTreeDNA results came back in June 2012 -- just five months before my trip -- with stunning information. I came back with a close match -- a living man in Ireland today with the surname Kennelly. (This is my surname -- the spelling changed after our branch arrived in Canada and the United States.) DNA traces your male line only. So if you go back to my father's father's father, etc., and you do the same with this man, we go back to a single Kennelly who likely lived in the 1700s, according to the test. What luck this was. Not only did I need a living relative in Ireland to get a result like this, but he too would have taken a DNA test. What are the chances? I immediately shot an email to the email address listed for this Tom Kennelly (ironically, my immigrant ancestor, who came from Ireland to Canada in 1849, was also named Thomas Kennelly). It ends up the email went to a cousin of his, Helen Smith in Australia. She helped me connect with Tom though. In August, I spoke with him by phone. On Thursday, Nov. 15, 2012, I visited him at his home in County Limerick(!) and met his lovely wife Nora, daughter Margaret, and grandson Jayden.Our Family Reunion We spoke about many things when we met. Of course, we talked about our families. We went through old pictures and were blown away by the resemblance between our families especially in some of the older photos. We talked about our family's medical histories, and we found similarities there too. We discussed cultural differences, what it's like growing up and living in the United States, what it's like in Ireland.

 

 

 

 

 

Some of the conversation was emotionally riveting.

 

"What do you remember about that day?" Margaret asked me about 9-11 while I was seated at the Kennelly's kitchen table. We also talked about the economy that is in so much trouble, particularly in Ireland. The need to create new jobs. How the Irish people are struggling, and how the United States hasn't been immune to the global economic crisis either. There are so many young people in Ireland without job opportunities ahead of them. What will come of them? "Emigration," Margaret said. There are few other choices. After Nora served me the most wonderful tea and homemade bread, Tom and Margaret walked me to the old Kennelly family home -- from the 1800s! It still stands near their current home. Tom explained that he still works to keep it up. It's part of history. A lot of old homes like it, from that time period, have since fallen apart across Ireland, in ruins. He doesn't want that to happen to this place. "What did you learn from that DNA test?" I asked Tom, his wife Nora and daughter Margaret. They learned the County Kerry Kennelly's are relatives of ours. Brendan Kennelly, a well-known Irish writer, is of that group, and he's related, they told me. I asked if there might also be relation with Tadgh Kennelly, a famous Gaelic/Australian football player; he's from County Kerry as well. Oh, yes, absolutely, they said. After Nora served me the most wonderful tea and homemade bread, Tom and Margaret walked me to the old Kennelly family home -- from the 1800s! It still stands near their current home. That means I have roots that lie in County Kerry too. "Kennelly -- Kerry," it was a familiar refrain I heard all week in Ireland, whether in Dublin or Galway. "You're good," I would tell the locals as I met them across the country. But since my own immigrant ancestor was actually from Co. Limerick, I wondered if I truly had roots there. Thanks to my meeting with Tom, I confirmed I do. I am related to the Kerry Kennelly's. And there are so many of them.On to County Kerry It was getting dark, but how often am I in Ireland? I took a risk by driving out of my way to County Kerry after this exciting discovery (I was already an hour from my bed & breakfast; this would be further out). I knew I'd come back at nighttime. I'm glad I took that chance. Not only did I make it back safely, I added to my experiences in a really awesome way. After punching up Kennelly in the GPS, something popped up for Moyvane, Co. Kerry. It just said "Kennelly." It could be a pub, perhaps a townland even, it could be anything. It was a hardware store. I smiled as I pulled up. I waited patiently as a worker behind the counter helped other customers. When he was alone, I walked up and asked if he knew if the owner was around. "I am the owner," he said. "You're a Kennelly?" I asked. It was probably a bizarre question given the store's name, but he simply answered in the affirmative. "I am too," I said. I then explained I was visiting Ireland from the United States, looking for my roots. How I met a cousin in Co. Limerick, and he told me I had links to Co. Kerry. He seemed interested, and we chatted for a bit. I then asked for a photo. He said sure. Before leaving, I explained to him how my cousin said we're related to Brendan Kennelly. He's from Ballylongford, the hardware store owner told me. Just 10 minutes up the road. I asked about the "Kennelly's" pub I've heard about. That's in Ballylongford too, he said. It was going to be dark soon, but I might never be just 10 minutes away again. I thanked him, he gave me his business card, and I headed on to Ballylongford. I pulled up in the small town and lit up with a smile when I saw a Kennelly's auto shop. But it wasn't the pub. Then I saw it across the street from the auto shop. "Kennelly's." The pub. I promptly parked the car and walked out. The pub was closed. No one around. I got my picture in front of it anyway. I then crossed over to the auto shop. No one around there either. Just before leaving, I thought I'd try circling the building. It was there that I saw a little office with a man inside. I gave him a wave at the window and smiled, to show I mean no harm. He came outside to meet me. "Do you know the Kennelly's around here?" I asked. He nodded with a slight hint of a smile but I couldn't be sure. "Are you a Kennelly?" I asked. It was an awkward line of questioning but I wasn't sure how else to start the conversation. "Yes, I am," he said. I then explained the same way I explained with Mike Kennelly, the owner of the hardware shop. He opened up, introduced himself as Tim Kennelly, and we chatted for a bit. He was extremely knowledgeable about the Kennelly's so I was really fortunate to meet him. He then told me about his uncle -- none other than Brendan Kennelly himself. And how his parents owned the pub across the street. Brendan Kennelly is in Dublin now, he said, but from Ballylongford. He showed me a quote from Brendan hanging up at his business. Ballylongford was the inspiration behind the quote, he told me, and he showed me the exact spot Brendan was inspired by. Besides his name being Tim, he said his grandfather was Tim too. Of course, I have an uncle named Tim Kanalley. It's a small world after all.This article originally appeared in The Huffington Post.

===================================

 

THE story of a courageous priest who took on New York gangsters and inspired a classic film is the subject of a TV documentary.

 

For over a decade, Fr John Corridan, a Jesuit priest who was the son of emigrants from Kerry, challenged Irish mobsters and corrupt union officials who controlled the New York waterfront during the 1940s and 1950s.

 

 

 

His one-man crusade struck at the heart of organised crime in the city and exposed extortion, corruption and murder.

 

 

 

His campaign for the rights of dock workers led to the 1954 movie On the Waterfront, starring Marlon Brando, which won eight Academy awards.

 

 

 

Fr Corridan’s father, John Corridan, of Duagh, Listowel, emigrated to New York at the turn of the last century. His mother, Johanna Shanahan, came from a small farm in Lisheenbawn, near Castleisland.

 

 

 

Coinciding with the centenary of Fr Corridan’s birth, a documentary chronicling his remarkable crusade has been made by RTÉ Nuacht journalist Seán Mac an tSíthigh, a native of the west Kerry gaeltacht.

The following are excerpts from The Lamp 1914;

 

 

 

Dr. Margaret Lamont of Ashcroft . BC, was the first woman physician to go to the mission fields  under the Catholic Medical Mission Propaganda , she went on the Empress of Japan on July 23rd 1914 from Vancouver. The Rev M Kennelly SJ who hailed from Woodford in Listowel wrote from Shanghai, China to Fr Paul of Greymoor about the recent arrival of Dr. Lamont and her need of help and difficulty with the language.

 

Macmillan published a book in 1925 under the title Catholic Medical Missions by Floyd Keeler.

 

 

 

 

 

Fr Patrick Kennelly born, Listowel son of Pat Kennelly and Mary Purcell was V.G. stationed in Warrnambool; at Hamilton 1902, Clunes; 1906-10,Colac 1920-1928, V.G. & Mons at Warrnambool 1932-47. Died 15 Feb. 1947 aged 78 years, brother of Martin above.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Warrnambool, Victoria 1940

 

Sisters of St John of God first went to Warrnambool in Western Victoria in 1939. The parish priest, Father Patrick Kennelly who had played a central role in the foundation of St John of God Hospital in Ballarat, had been swift to realize Warrnambool needed a Catholic hospital.

 

He purchased a house and land and gave it to the Sisters where a hosital was quickly established. As was the case in the opening of other St John of God hospitals at that time, emphasis was placed on the fact that the hospital be opened to people of all faiths.

Bishop Foley opened Catholic School in Sept. 1932, for Dean Kennelly at Dennington it cost £1,500 , there was only £200 debt left and a collection at the opening ceremony  amounted to £ 136.

"Hello,

 

I googled historian and Listowel and it sent me to your blog.

 

 I am from the Boston area and interested in local famlies of 18th century Listowel.

 

 I am particularly wondering if anyone can tell me about the Bolton's crossroads area and which Bolton family it is named after.

 

I descend from a Mr Bolton (perhaps John) who married Mary Justice prior to 1752. His wife's family was descended from Eliott (McEligott?) and Fitzgerald of Castle Lick families. I believe the Boltons of Listowel might have descended from Sir Richard Bolton, the 17th century judge and Chanceller or Ireland, possibly a branch located to Mallow where most of the Justices were living.

 

 

 

I'd appreciate any pointers in the right direction.

 

 

 

Thanks,

Listowel man dies suddenly at holiday home

 

BY AIDAN O’CONNOR

 

 

 

THE towns of Listowel and Killarney were united in an outpouring of disbelief and grief at the loss of Cornelius A Kennelly from Pallas in Listowel who died suddenly on Monday, aged just 42 years.

 

Married to Ann Marie O’Shea from Killarney, Mr Kennelly died suddenly on Monday afternoon as he and his wife tidied up their holiday house in Glenbeigh.

 

His death has come as a complete shock to his family and many friends all over the county.

 

But Cornelius’s death comes as particularly striking loss to his wife and his two children, Emma (6) and David (3).

 

As an accountant and business executive, Cornelius was a brilliant man, having rose to one of the top positions with the world’s largest health care company, Johnson and Johnson.

 

In a short but established and recognised career, Cornelius is acknowledged as one of Ireland’s most successful exports to multinationals operating on a global scale.

 

His latest promotion to executive level with Johnson and Johnson had him responsible for key elements of the company’s operations in Europe and the United States.

 

But ahead of his professional brilliance, Cornelius was remembered this week as a kind and loving father, husband, son and sibling. He was also a very proud Kerryman.

 

At a time when his family are trying to make sense of his untimely death, they are finding some consolation in that Cornelius and his family had come home from Brussels for two weeks to Kerry for the Christmas holidays.

 

It was a week longer than Cornelius and Ann Marie would normally spend at home. It was also a happy and memorable fortnight that will forever remain in the hearts and minds of the Kennelly and O’Shea families.

 

As a sporting enthusiast, Cornelius’s love of GAA remained etched in his heart from the moment he left Listowel to follow a distinguished career.

 

A cousin of the late Tim Kennelly, Cornelius did not pick up his love of GAA from the streets of Brussels. He was passionate about Kerry football and waited child-like for any opportunity that arose when he could return home to witness successive green and gold armies in search of Munster and All-Ireland glory.

 

He was also one of those responsible for founding the Ross Golf Club in Killarney – the picturesque and coveted nine-hole course.

 

Despite the appreciated efforts of local Glenbeigh nurse Mary O’Sullivan and other medical professionals, Cornelius lost his fight to stay alive early on Monday afternoon. His wife Ann Marie was by his side.

 

He is also survived by his parents Matt and Nora, brother Ned and sisters Siobhán, Mary and Ann.

 

Cornelius’s remains were brought from Listowel to his family’s (O’Shea’s) funeral home in Killarney for a family rosary on Tuesday night.

 

Removal is from O’Shea’s funeral home, Killarney, on this Wednesday at 6.30pm to the Cathedral and burial on Thursday after 10.30am Mass at the Cathedral to Aghadoe Lawn cemetery.

I was very interested in the posts about Jeremiah Kennelly. I too live in Australia and I'm wondering if my Kennelly/Kennaly relatives are related in some way.

 

 

 

My second great grandfather was Jeremiah Kennelly or Kennaly. He was born in London around 1814 and his father was also Jeremiah and he was married to Harriot Hook.. I don't know where he was born as I can't find any birth records for him.

 

 

 

My second great grandfather immigrated from London to Hobart,Tas in 1842 with his wife Sarah. They had with them two of their children - John Jeremiah Kennaly and Sarah Ann Kennaly. There were two other daughters, Harriot and Emma who where with them in London but appear to have not come with them on the boat to Hobart.

 

 

 

Any info would be greatly appreciated,

. Jimmy Deenihan was a great driving force at Seanchai and Listowel heritage Town.

Met a Kennelly in his 80’s, he came first to Listowel the town of his ancestors about 40 years ago and met J B Keane and now this time he brought his grandchildren to see Listowel. When he came the first time J B Keane introduced him to Ml Kennelly the Travel Agent across the street from J B. He told me his grandmother was Walsh did not know from where, but may have married his G F in America. Forgot to note the G father name, July 2018.

Her father Cornelius passed away on February 17, 1885, in Duagh, Kerry, Ireland, at the age of 75.

She married Timothy Daniel Buckley on February 13, 1870, in Duagh, Kerry, Ireland. They had 11 children in 20 years. She died on November 12, 1928, in Wilmerding, Pennsylvania, at the age of 87.

 

In the blood

 

by Matthew W. Kennelly             

 

 

 

As we walked the field webbed by early century water lines, I noticed in moments of stress, he’d lift his hat with a hand on his head, favor a leg, and take a deep breath. I used to wait, like a kid who lit a firework, for the explosion. But, the explosion never came and I don’t expect it to anymore. We continued on, walking the field he grew up walking with his grandfather. I asked him how he doesn’t lose his composure after a day full of broken-down machines, avoidable mistakes made by employees, and the inevitable obstacles farming presents.

Matthew W. Kennelly. Documentary Photographer

 

 

 

An artist I look up to once wrote about me, “He has an uncanny eye for capturing people in a way that is profoundly affecting - he somehow gets their stories, their movement, their faults and glories all crammed into a single shot. […] At just 22, he has the understated grace of a seasoned photographer, hanging back, unnoticed, getting all the real shots without disrupting the scene.”

 

At the time, this meant a great deal to me simply because of its author, but it didn’t occur to me till I spent a year photographing life on a farm that he described the thesis of my work as a documentarian. I am deeply passionate about capturing the subtle intricacies of what make us all human. The faults and the glories.

 

Be it a birth, a funeral, and all between the two, I want to document it. As of 2018, I am accepting all inquiries: editorial, studio portraits, wedding, engagement, family, senior, etc. Send me an email at booking@fortvanity.com or fill out a form here and we’ll get the ball rolling!

A branch of the Kennelly family returns for the first time to Moyvane after 112 years to visit this July 18-21. Jim Kennelly, brother of Tim Kennelly, son of Daniel Kennelly and Catherine Thornton, left for America in September 1906. We hope to say hello and find out what happened to the family farm…

    The Kennelly farm was in Kilbaha, not sure yet if North, South or Middle, but investigating. It was in the care of Tim Kennelly and his finance, Mary Jane Hanrahan, (a lovely singer according to an article on this site) when Jim emigrated to New York City in September 1906. One of Tim and Mary Jane’s 15 children, Michael, eventually came to New York and lived with Jim and his family (which included my father) while he completed his high school education before entering into his training to join the Jesuit order. Fr. Michael Kennelly went on to serve as President of Loyola University in New Orleans and be named a member of the Papal Household. Although probably not the same branch, we’re still looking forward to stopping by Kennelly’s Homevalue Harware in the village, seeing Our Lady of the Assumption Church, the Co-op, the GAA football pitch, and seeing as much as we can of the Middle Plain.

Mrs. Lucy Kennelly, who died recently in Newark, N. J., was a relative of Nano Nagle, Foundress of the Order of Presentation Nuns in Ireland, and also of the family of Edmund Burke.

 

 

 

The Sacred Heart Review, Volume 33, Number 24, 10 June 1905

 

Interesting light is thrown on the Catholicity of the Church when we read of a Father Kennelly, S. J., in China, who has a brother a parish priest in South Australia, and two sisters belonging to the Mercy Order in California. They belong to a North Kerry family in Ireland. The Chinese priest speaks English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and several Chinese dialects, and is proud of his knowledge of his Irish tongue.

 

 

 

 

 

The Sacred Heart Review, Volume 43, Number 24, 4 June 1910

 

We learn from Father Kennelly that a Synod has been recently held in China for the third division of the missionary field in that country. The Bishops attending were those of Chekiang, Kiangsi, Hunan, Hupeh and part of Honan, making ten in all together with one Prefect Apostolic. Father Kennelly also refers to the death of Bishop Perez, who belonged to the Augustinian Order, who was accidentally drowned on his way to the Synod

 

 

 

The Sacred Heart Review, Volume 44, Number 22, 19 November 1910

 

The Rev. M. Kennelly, who for the last twenty-five years has been a missionary in China, preached last Sunday night at the Church of the Immaculate Conception on “The Work of the Church in China." He spoke encouragingly of the outlook for the spread of the Catholic religion among the Chinese. In the entire country, nearly five times the size of the United States, in  a population of about 420,000,000,  there were, he said, 1,500,000 Catholics, whose spiritual wants were attended to by forty-five Bishops and 2,110 priests, 630 of them natives.

 

 

 

The Sacred Heart Review, Volume 46, Number 6, 29 July 1911

 

DEATH: Father Perrin had been in China for more than twenty-five years. He was a native of Brittany, where he is survived by an aged father, with whom sincerest sympathy will be felt. The deceased is to be buried at Wuho, on the Hwai River, to which place his remains are to betaken. "The illness of Father Perrin is the fifth case of typhus among the Catholic and Protestant missionaries who have been distributing relief, but fortunately all the others have survived. '' Father Perrin died as heroically and faithfully as any martyr, and his name will be long remembered as an example of earnest devotion to duty and of Catholic brotherliness." The Rev. M. Kennelly, S. J., of St. Joseph's Church, Shanghai, writing of the late Father Perrin, says : " He was born in Brittany on Nov. 21,1858. He joined the Jesuits of the Pari Province in 1877, and came to China in 1885. During the preceding year he was professor of mathematics and French at Mungret College, Limerick. During his long stay of twenty-six years in the China field, he was much connected with educational work in Shanghai and at Siccawei. During the last few years he laboured out on the mission, especially at Yingchowfu, in Anhwei Province, where he was head priest and administered a flock of ten thousand converts and twenty two thousand catechumens preparing for baptism. His death is a heavy blow to our much afflicted mission."

The heroism of missionary life surpasses all romance, and many a missionary's deeds if made known to the world could not fail to inspire many others to dedicate their lives to the service of God in the mission-field. —Father Kennelly. S. J.,

 

 

 

 

 

The Sacred Heart Review, Volume 56, Number 10, 19 August 1916           

 

A great many missionaries have been on the sick list this spring. Father Kennelly, S. J., of Shanghai, spent Holy Week and Easter week in the hospital where under the skilful care of the Sisters of Charity he recovered sufficiently to return to his mission about the middle of May. It is little wonder that these overworked priests are forced to call a halt to their labours, for since the war began their numbers have teen so reduced that they are overwhelmed with work.

From Daniel’s death certificate in Australia, his mother is recorded as Honorah (perhaps Honora) Fallon.

The photo was taken in Kyneton, Victoria, Australia.

When Julia died, the following obituary was featured in the North Eastern Ensign newspaper, Benalla, Victoria, Australia:

 

The North Eastern Ensign Benalla, July 30th 1915.

 

Mrs  Julia, relict of the late Mr Daniel  Kenneally, died at Goomalibee on Saturday, at the ripe age of about 80 years. 

Deceased was the mother of a large and respectable family, among them being Messrs Matthew Kenneally, of Winton, J. J.  Kenneally, at one time an auctioneer in Benalla, Mrs Robert Ryan, of Yarrawonga, and Sister M. Benedict, of the Presentation Convent, Windsor.

The late Mrs  Kenneally was a typical Irishwoman, and like most of her sex hailing from the Green Isle, was a generous warm-hearted woman whose hospitality was unbounded. 

Many old friends throughout Benalla district will regret to hear of her demise. Her remains were interred it the Catholic portion of Benalla cemetery on Monday alongside those of her late husband - one of the district's most worthy pioneers - the burial service being read by the Rev J. O'Reilly, P. P., whilst the mortuary arrangements were carried out by Mr Hanlon.

Mayor Kennelly’s Jitney War (8-22-1950)

 

Aug 22, 2016

 

https://wordpress.com/read/blogs/8577505/posts/8857

 

 

 

    Politics South Side

 

 

 

On this date, Mayor Martin Kennelly ordered a crackdown on jitney cabs operating on South Park Way (King Drive) and other South Side boulevards. The jitneys were carrying groups of up to six passengers at a time, charging 15 cents per person. Though this was more expensive than the current 12-cent CTA fare, it was significantly less than the meter rate on licensed cabs.

 

 

 

 

 

The jitneys were breaking the law. The mayor warned that any drivers operating without a taxi license would be arrested. The Park District would also be holding public hearings on how to deal with this problem on its boulevards.

 

 

 

Kennelly’s warnings had little effect.  The jitneys kept running.  He also alienated the powerful South Side congressman, William L. Dawson.  Dawson and most of his constituents were African American.  Since many white cab drivers wouldn’t serve black passengers in 1950, the local community relied on the jitneys.

 

 

 

Kennelly was succeeded by a more politically-astute mayor, Richard J. Daley.  When a reporter asked him if he was going to do anything about the jitneys, Daley simply said, “They perform a public service.”  And that was that.

 

 

 

Today, of course, we have Uber.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Adventures of Mayor Martin Kennelly

 

Feb 24, 2015

 

 

 

 Martin Kennelly looked like a statesman. Tall, white-haired, and reserved, he gave off a vibe of quiet dignity.  He might have been the movie version of a senator, or an ambassador, or perhaps even President of the United States.

 

 

 

Martin Kennelly was actually the Mayor of Chicago. During most of his two terms in office, he did seem more like an actor playing a role.

 

Like Ed Kelly before him and Daley Senior after him, Kennelly was an Irishman from Bridgeport. Born in 1887, he grew up poor.  He opened a moving business, worked hard, got rich, and left the old neighborhood behind.

 

 

 

He dabbled in Democrat politics as a contributor. Though he accepted appointment to the Park District Board, Kennelly turned down offers to run for public office—until 1947.

 

 

 

Mayor Ed Kelly was finishing up 14 years on the job.   There had been a series of scandals, and the Republicans looked like they had a shot at reclaiming the mayor’s chair.  Remember, this was back in 1947.

 

 

 

The party mandarins told Kelly it was time to retire.  Martin Kennelly was a popular civic leader with no political taint, and was the perfect “clean” candidate for mayor.  He agreed to run.  Though the Republicans did pick up 18 of the 50 city council seats, Kennelly was easily elected.

 

 

 

Chicago was enjoying a postwar boom. Kennelly’s tenure saw many major public works projects, including the Congress (Eisenhower) Expressway, O’Hare Airport, and the extensions of both Lake Shore Drive and Wacker Drive. After two decades of depression and war, private construction was also rebounding.

 

 

 

Kennelly worked to clean up the public school system, and had some success. His efforts to reform civil service had less impact.  His raids on open gambling generated a lot of newspaper ink—and brought him political trouble.

 

Congressman Dawson

 

 

 

Congressman Dawson

 

 

 

The Mayor’s gambling raids were nearly all in the South Side fief of Congressman William L. Dawson. Dawson and his constituents were African American, and he thought the raids were racist.  Calls for party unity finally convinced Dawson to support Kennelly for re-election in 1951.

 

 

 

Kennelly won that 1951 election without much bother. Still, the party old guard had decided the mayor was a loose cannon, and had to be replaced the next time around.

 

 

 

City Clerk Richard J. Daley became Democrat county chairman in 1953. Two years later, when Kennelly appeared before the party slate-makers to ask for their endorsement, he was dumbfounded when they picked Daley instead.  Refusing to go quietly, he ran against Daley in the mayoral primary.

 

 

 

Kennelly mounted a vigorous campaign. But he was learning to say “hello” when it was time to say “good-bye.”  Daley won the primary, and then the general election.

 

 

 

Kennelly retired to his Sheridan Road apartment, and very little was heard from him after that. He died in 1961.  Years later, one scholar began an essay on Kennelly’s political career with a simple sentence that might serve as his epitaph—“He was a nice man.”

 

Brendan Kennelly Ballylongford 21 Jan 2017

 

 

 

Brendan aged  (80),  recently moved back from Dublin to Kerry, was joined by his extended family, neighbours and friends at the reception in Ballylongford Parish Hall.

 

 Addressing the reception, Brendan Kennelly said he been away from his beloved ‘Bally’ and Kerry for over sixty years but the village and county always stayed with me.

 

“Dublin was my home and a place that I loved dearly but my original home was always with me, all the time, wherever I went. Bally and its people would come to me at night as I slept; I would dream of the streets, of the river going up through the village, of the football field, of the laneways, and the teams of young people and the rhyme that we had:

 

 

 

Puddings and pies for the Ballyline Boys

 

 

 

Sods and ciarógs for the Well Road Rogues

 

 

 

Meal and bran for the Saleen Clan

“Like all places, Bally has its own uniqueness,” said Brendan. “When I was growing up Ballylongford was a busy, self-sufficient place that was full of life and energy. It had a cinema, two dance halls, draperies, shoe shops, chemists, several pubs, tailors and dressmakers, bakeries and grocery shops.

 

 

 

“It had everything that its people needed. The big show-bands of the day came to Bally during the carnival. The farmers came in every day with their milk to the creamery – they were a daily visiting presence. They would come in with their horses and carts and you would hear the noise of the wheels on the street while lying in bed in the early morning. Soldiers stationed at Fort Shannon were regular visitors to the village,” Brendan continued.

 

 

 

“Bally is full of stories – we have the great history of the O’Connors of Carrigafoyle and the story of Lislaughtin. There is the story of the girl who worked for the O’Connor’s who fell in love with a British soldier and who lit a candle in one of the windows of the castle to indicate this was the weakest part of the building and the Cromwellian soldiers attacked it at that point.

 

 

 

“There is an amazing history attached to the place. It was the story of Cromwell’s army coming to Bally that ignited my interest in the man and I wrote an epic poem about him. I went to his home in Ely in England and I read all his letters for my research. I remember phrases that he used, one in particular about ‘work I have to do in Ireland’. He was a mass murderer but he saw what he was doing as work that had to be done.

 

 

 

“I am back living near Bally again. I carry the Bally that I wrote about in The Crooked Cross within me and see it as I pass through the village and, although a lot has changed, I still know this to be my heart’s home place,” said Brendan.

 

 

 

The Cathaoirleach of Kerry County Council, Cllr. Michael O’Shea and Vice Chairman, Liam Purtill held a reception organised by the local authority to honour Brendan Kennelly Saturday, January 21 2017 at Ballylongford Hall.

 

 

 

Brendan Kennelly is one of Ireland's most famous authors and literary figures. Brendan Kennelly was born in Ballylongford Co. Kerry in 1936. He was educated at St. Ita's college in Tarbert, Co. Kerry and later at Trinity College Dublin where he has been professor of Modern Literature since 1975. He has published more than twenty books of poems.

 

He is best known for two controversial poetry books, Cromwell (published in Ireland in 1983 and in England by Bloodaxe in 1987), and his epic poem The Book Of Judas, which topped the Irish bestsellers list when it was published in 1991. Brendan Kennelly is also a celebrated dramatist and has published six volumes of selected poems, most recently A Time For Voices - Selected Poems 1960-1990.

 

Brendan has brothers Kevin, Fr. John, Alan and Paddy and his sister Nancy. His sister Mary lives in the US and his brother Colm is deceased, his extended family includes his nieces Mary and Kate, arts officer with Kerry County Council, and her brother Mark, special adviser to Taoiseach Enda Kenny.

MARS LIGHT: The Mars light was an early mechanical flashing/warning light.

 

 

 

"A railroader had worked out the general idea…"

 

 

 

Actually, it was the brainchild of Chicago aerial truck (hook & ladder) driver Jerry (Jeremiah) Kennelly.

 

 

 

City traffic was already getting bad in the 1920s, making it increasingly dangerous and difficult for emergency vehicles to get through. Fire apparatus in this period were usually fitted with small hand-held spotlights (Chicago apparatus also carried (and still carry) small red and green forward-facing warning lamps). Kennelly realized that if he wiggled the spotlight by hand, it caught the attention of oncoming drivers. He continued his experiments into the 30s (as city traffic got worse), replacing the white lens with a red one and eventually adding a motor and gearbox so it would turn in a unique horizontal figure-8 pattern. This made the beam visible to both oncoming traffic and in rear-view mirrors, and produced a noticeable flashing effect.

 

 

 

Kennelly later made the acquaintance of Frank Mars, head of the famed Chicago candy company, who liked what he saw and provided both financial and engineering help, which his wife continued after Mars' death in 1933. This is where the Mars in Mars Light came from.

 

 

 

The first railroad tests came in 1936 on the CNW, but used a blue lens, as red would be misinterpreted as a stop signal. This was later replaced with a standard white lens.

 

 

 

"The original "Green Diamond" had a light that pointed straight up as an attention getter. The Pacifics assigned to the original C&NW "400" also had a headlight angled upward at a 45-degree angle."

 

 

 

As high-speed trains were introduced, there was a lot of concern that motorists would never see or hear them coming especially at night – humans have a hard time judging the speed of anything bigger than we are coming at us. These earlier warning lights were fixed searchlights, positioned to point straight up or at an angle so they would not blind oncoming train crews or motorists, however the powerful light beam did make them easier to see at night. Diesels, being much quieter and nearly smokeless, were also that much harder to see by day and railroads began looking at ways to make them more visible.

 

 

 

The Mars Light was liked by some railroads, and was also seen on a lot of fire apparatus in the 1940s-60s.

I thought that Federal Signal and Mars combined several years ago. I may be incorrect on this. I remember someone telling me this.

 

Why not contact your local Pierce or Seagrave dealer and ask them this question??

 

I found this ifnormation while doing a google search.

 

 

 

"Search for Mars Signal Light Co:"

 

 

 

A copy of a cover of a 1940? catalog (WR-5000-A catalog – see misc.) shows the address of the Mars Signal Light Company as 5737 W. Division St.; Chicago, IL.

 

 

 

I contacted Mars, Inc. of McLean, VA (the candy company), and was informed by their personnel and organizational manager, S. A. Heffelfinger, that they have no record of what became of the 'MarsLite Corporation'. She did say that in April of 1933, Mr. Mars and Mr. Kennelly formed a company named the 'MarsLite Corporation', with Mr. Mars providing $1000 of it's working capital. She found a file on it with a large drawing which must have been used to apply for the patent. She also provided me with information about Jerry Kennelly:

 

 

 

Apparently, Jerry Kennelly suggested using a flashing light for police and fire vehicles to enhance their safety. It appeared that no one was interested in the idea until two fire trucks collided in Chicago with grim results. The mayor suddenly became interested in the concept and the 'MarsLite Corporation' was born. It set the criterion for flashing lights for emergency vehicles until World War II.

 

I contacted the Federal Signal Corporation of University Park, IL, and was told that they did not take over the Mars Signal Light Company and were not a subsidiary of it.

 

 

 

John Blair suggested contacting SPAAMFAA (Society for the Preservation and Appreciation of Antique Motor Fire Apparatus in America). He remembered seeing "Bubble Gum Machines" on tow trucks and various emergency vehicles in the 1980's in Syracuse, N.Y. (in which SPAAMFAA has roots) which bore the slogan "The Light From Mars" and the name "The Mars Signal Light Company".

 

 

 

Trade-Mark 343,236 for "THE LIGHT FROM MARS" was registered to Jeremiah D. Kennelly on Feb. 16, 1937. A metal plate bearing this trade-mark was attached to the products sold by the Mars Signal Light Co.

 

 

 

Investigation of SPAAMFAA led me to John Dorgan of the Rusty Bucket Volunteer Fire Company, Inc.; Arizona Territorial Chapter of SPAAMFAA. John provided me with this information:

 

 

 

The MARS Signal Light Company manufactured many different lights and sirens starting with the model FL which dates back to Kennelly's original patent (US Pat. 1,991,101 cited above). The company simultaneously made both emergency vehicle warning lights and railroad lights. They manufactured both train lights and several types of crossing lights. In the late 60's or early 70's, the operations moved to Naples, Florida and they operated from this location until the company was purchased by Trippe Light Co. The resulting corporation became known as TRI LITE MARS. It is located in Chicago, once again, and is located at 1335 W. Randolph St.; Chicago, IL 60607. Tel. 1-800-322-5250. John goes on to say that TRI LITE MARS doesn't have any information as to the early days prior to TRI LITE.

 

 

 

Rich Sitler contacted me with information on the address for the company. He listed the phone and fax numbers as well as revealing that the company makes an "888" light used for fire trucks and locomotives.

 

 

 

I called the company using the 1-800 number. The company identified itself as "TRI LITE INC.". The address is what John and Rich have stated. (phone: (312) 226-7778/fax: (312) 226-5335)

 

 

 

Information from TRI LITE INC. catalog:

 

 

 

TRI LITE INC. is made up of the TRI LITE division and the MARS Signal Light division. They also identify themselves as TRI LITE MARS (evidenced by their logo and catalog cover). Their present product line includes warning lights, back up alarms and sirens. Both belt and gear drive rotating light units are available. They manufacture the MARS "888" Traffic Breaker Light which generates a "figure 8" moving pattern which they claim to be the leading fire truck warning light for years. This light is sold in a pedestal mounted unit (TB8-P) or as a flush mounted unit (TB8-F). The catalog specifications state that these units are rated 60,000 (optional 100,000) candlepower. This unit is available with either a clear or red lens. The "888" light is also incorporated into roof bar units.

 

 

 

From the product line, emergency vehicle equipment is what this company now specializes in. I verified this with their customer service representative.

 

 

 

Regarding the sale of rotating flashers or strobes to the railroad industry, the representative stated that this may be taking place through their distributors, but TRI LITE INC. has no records of distributor sales.

 

This is what I found and the light was first designed by a fireman in Chicago and the Mars candy Co.

Here's a couple of things I found on the SAL/ACL forum:

 

ACL - The rule book (Rule 17-A) required the use of the Mars light when

 

ever the train was moving forward at night. It was to be turned off

 

when approachin terminals, junctions, meeting points, and stations

 

where stops were to be made. Also, it was to be turned off when ever

 

the rules required that the main headlight be dimmed.

 

 

 

 Before there were Ditch lights, there were Mars Lights

 

During the spring of 1936, an astonishing sight stopped motorists and

 

attracted crowds of curious spectators to highway overpasses along

 

the Chicago & North Western line from Chicago to Minneapolis. The

 

engine was one of the railroad's rebuilt Pacific-type set aside for

 

service on the famous "400s," but the oscillating blue light flashing

 

from the top of the smokebox was definitely something new.

 

The light was the brainchild of a Chicago city fireman, Jerry

 

Kennelly, whose encounters with oncoming street traffic during

 

emergency runs led him to tinker with various warning-light devices.

 

The most effective, he discovered, swept the path in a horizontal

 

figure-8 motion that caught the attention of motorists both in front

 

and to the sides of the truck. But it wasn't until Chicago candy

 

magnate Frank Mars and his wife, Ethel took an interest that

 

Kennelly's invention became reality. Mars offered the inventor use of

 

the candy company's machine shop to turn out prototypes, and after

 

Mars' death, his widow continued financial support of the project. In

 

return, Kennelly assigned patent rights to the Mars Light Co.

 

Working with a group of Chicago policemen, Kennelly developed the

 

device further, offering it to railroads for use at highway

 

crossings. Finally, it caught the attention of Chicago & North

 

Western's chief safety officer; he agreed to mount a Mars light on

 

engine #2908, one of the four E-2's assigned to the new "400"

 

service. Additional tests were conducted with a Mars light on a

 

J-class 2-8-2 that shuttled back and forth on the Orchard track in

 

Proviso Yard.

 

On one of its runs to Milwaukee, the 2908 struck a large bird,

 

shattering the blue lens. A clear lens was located in Milwaukee, and,

 

on the return trip to Chicago, it was discovered that the white light

 

was even more effective in catching attention. Gyrating in a

 

horizontal figure-8 that was 800 feet in diameter, 1000 feet down the

 

track, the new Mars oscillating headlight was adopted by C&NW for its

 

steam-powered engines and, despite the initial indifference of EMD

 

officials, by the Rock Island for use on its first passenger diesels.

 

Other railroads soon followed.

From what I found out a while back, Seaboard used them for emergency situations, but don't know what defined an "emergency".  Also, some of Seaboard's E7s had red lenses, others had clear.

Corrib Tragedy January 18 1934

 

Over the years, the River Corrib has seen many tragic moments because of drowning accidents. While the Anach Chuain disaster of 1828, was terrible, with the loss of 19 people, one of the saddest must be the tragedy that occurred during a cold winter’s night of January 1934.

What makes this accident so haunting is the fact that the people who lost their lives were neither boating or swimming: they were occupants of a motor car who should not have been in that particular area on that night. What is even sadder still is that they drowned within ear-shot of a dance that was being held in the Commercial Boat Club. As young people enjoyed the dancing and music in the hall, four others struggled for their lives in a submerged car just outside. Many people say that one cannot escape fate, and this is a story of just that: it is haunting to say the least as one examines the circumstances that led to this appalling tragedy.

 

The following account of the accident was published:

“Drowned Within Sound of Dance – Agonising Search – For Four Bodies in Motor Car – Pathetic Final Scenes.”

“Whilst the band played and the dancers danced at the Commercial Boat Club, Galway, on Thursday night last, a motor car returning from Ballinasloe plunged into the Corrib at the end of Steamer’s Quay, carrying its four occupants to death in four feet of water.

No one heard the splash: no one witnessed the grim tragedy of a mistaken road. All was over in less time than it takes to write the story. It was not until Saturday morning, after a diligent search by the Civic Guards, that the car with its huddle of dead bodies in the back seat was found lying on its left side beneath the waters.

The names of the victims were as follows:

            Sergeant Forde (28) in charge of Maam station, a native of Tynagh, Co. Galway, married; leaves a widow, a son and a daughter.

            Guard Kenneally (32) Maam, a native of Newtownsands, Co. Kerry, married; leaves a widow and one son.

            Martin Keane P.C. (45) Maam, shopkeeper and farmer the driver of the car, married; leave a widow, three boys and two girls.

            Miss Margaret Laffey (25) Carragh, Cornamona.

 

The purpose of the ill-fated journey that day was to take a girl, Sarah Laffey, who had been ill for some time, to a hospital in Ballinasloe. The first leg of the journey was from Maam to Carragh in Cornamona, where the girl lived. Her sister, Margaret, decided to accompany her and travelled with them. The party started on their journey for Ballinasloe about 12:30pm and arrived there at 3:30pm. They travelled in a 1929 green saloon, Fordor Ford car, the property of Martin Keane of Maam, who was also the driver.

 

The drowning tragedy happened on their way back to Galway.

KENNELLY

 

2 April 2015 Chicago Sun Times.

Kennelly, his family are believed to have come from Ballylongford.

In the early 1960s, a Chicago alderman proposed naming what is now the Eisenhower Expressway after Mayor Martin H. Kennelly, who headed the city from 1947 to 1955, but that effort obviously failed. In fact, there doesn’t seem to be any public memorial to Kennelly. The exception is in the suburbs. A Kennelly great nephew has made a financial donation toward the renovation of an athletic facility at Riverside Brookfield High School, to be known as the Kennelly Athletic Complex. Is there something wrong with this scenario? Kennelly rose from working in the stockroom of Marshall Field’s. Under his leadership, the groundwork for Chicago’s expressways was begun. He was not involved in political corruption, and he replaced political appointees with civil service workers. Kennelly lost in his run for a third term because he was trying to clean up the city. Just imagine what Chicago would be like today had Kennelly been able to stay in office and destroy the Democratic machine.It’s more than time to honor Kennelly in a way that he’ll be remembered in Chicago history. We went to bat for Mayor Jane Byrne, and now it’s Kennelly’s turn. He can be honored in Riverside and Chicago.

JUDGE RULES IN FAVOR OF FAIR TRIALS

Hidden police files and secret deals with witnesses have been a common thread in many of the wrongful convictions that have come to light in Illinois in recent years.

So it was encouraging to see U.S. District Judge Matthew Kennelly take a strong stand against both this week in the case of Nathson Fields, a former death row inmate who is suing the city because a Chicago cop withheld or fabricated evidence against him.

Kennelly ruled late Monday that Fields gets a new trial in his lawsuit partly because authorities hid a “bonanza” get-out-of-prison-early deal with a key witness. Kennelly also said Fields’ lawyers can investigate whether police have kept some murder case files hidden from defence lawyers.

Secret incentives to witnesses have been a recurring problem in high-profile trials. Juries take the witnesses’ testimony at face value without ever learning the witness is talking in exchange for something of real value, such as having years knocked off a prison sentence.

Similarly, investigative notes and files that could prove a defendant’s innocence all too often turn up only after a conviction, in violation of the law.

How I met living cousins in Ireland

By The Gathering Ireland, 23 November 2012

Senior Editor of The Huffington Post Craig Kanalley recently journeyed from the US to Ireland to explore his family heritage. Here, he shares the highlights of the experience, which include meeting relatives, touring the countryside and learning a few things about the land of his ancestors.

Since I was a kid, I've dreamed of going to Ireland.

My last name is Irish and I've long been curious about my roots, particularly my Irish heritage, as I never knew my paternal grandfather. He was nearly 100 percent Irish.

When my Dad found a great deal on LivingSocial for a trip for one to Ireland (through Great Value Vacations), and passed it along, I felt it was tailor-made for me. It allowed the flexibility of a rental car to drive the country and B&B vouchers to stay anywhere I chose.

It would allow me to visit townlands my ancestors are from (and that's what I did, including Eyrecourt, Co. Galway; Killanena, Co. Clare; Tinahely, Co. Wicklow). When I booked the trip, I also tried something with hopes of finding more about my roots -- a DNA test.

To my surprise, the FamilyTreeDNA results came back in June 2012 -- just five months before my trip -- with stunning information.

I came back with a close match -- a living man in Ireland today with the surname Kennelly. (This is my surname -- the spelling changed after our branch arrived in Canada and the United States.)

DNA traces your male line only. So if you go back to my father's father's father, etc., and you do the same with this man, we go back to a single Kennelly who likely lived in the 1700s, according to the test.

What luck this was. Not only did I need a living relative in Ireland to get a result like this, but he too would have taken a DNA test. What are the chances?

I immediately shot an email to the email address listed for this Tom Kennelly (ironically, my immigrant ancestor, who came from Ireland to Canada in 1849, was also named Thomas Kennelly).

It ends up the email went to a cousin of his, Helen Smith in Australia. She helped me connect with Tom though. In August, I spoke with him by phone. On Thursday, Nov. 15, 2012, I visited him at his home in County Limerick(!) and met his lovely wife Nora, daughter Margaret, and grandson Jayden.

Our Family Reunion

We spoke about many things when we met. Of course, we talked about our families. We went through old pictures and were blown away by the resemblance between our families especially in some of the older photos. We talked about our family's medical histories, and we found similarities there too. We discussed cultural differences, what it's like growing up and living in the United States, what it's like in Ireland.

 

Some of the conversation was emotionally riveting.

"What do you remember about that day?" Margaret asked me about 9-11 while I was seated at the Kennelly's kitchen table.

We also talked about the economy that is in so much trouble, particularly in Ireland. The need to create new jobs. How the Irish people are struggling, and how the United States hasn't been immune to the global economic crisis either.

There are so many young people in Ireland without job opportunities ahead of them. What will come of them?

"Emigration," Margaret said. There are few other choices.

After Nora served me the most wonderful tea and homemade bread, Tom and Margaret walked me to the old Kennelly family home -- from the 1800s! It still stands near their current home.

Tom explained that he still works to keep it up. It's part of history. A lot of old homes like it, from that time period, have since fallen apart across Ireland, in ruins. He doesn't want that to happen to this place.

"What did you learn from that DNA test?" I asked Tom, his wife Nora and daughter Margaret.

They learned the County Kerry Kennelly's are relatives of ours. Brendan Kennelly, a well-known Irish writer, is of that group, and he's related, they told me. I asked if there might also be relation with Tadgh Kennelly, a famous Gaelic/Australian football player; he's from County Kerry as well. Oh, yes, absolutely, they said.

After Nora served me the most wonderful tea and homemade bread, Tom and Margaret walked me to the old Kennelly family home -- from the 1800s! It still stands near their current home. That means I have roots that lie in County Kerry too.

"Kennelly -- Kerry," it was a familiar refrain I heard all week in Ireland, whether in Dublin or Galway. "You're good," I would tell the locals as I met them across the country. But since my own immigrant ancestor was actually from Co. Limerick, I wondered if I truly had roots there.

Thanks to my meeting with Tom, I confirmed I do. I am related to the Kerry Kennelly's. And there are so many of them.

On to County Kerry

It was getting dark, but how often am I in Ireland? I took a risk by driving out of my way to County Kerry after this exciting discovery (I was already an hour from my bed & breakfast; this would be further out). I knew I'd come back at nighttime.

I'm glad I took that chance. Not only did I make it back safely, I added to my experiences in a really awesome way.

After punching up Kennelly in the GPS, something popped up for Moyvane, Co. Kerry. It just said "Kennelly." It could be a pub, perhaps a townland even, it could be anything.

It was a hardware store. I smiled as I pulled up. I waited patiently as a worker behind the counter helped other customers. When he was alone, I walked up and asked if he knew if the owner was around.

"I am the owner," he said.

"You're a Kennelly?" I asked. It was probably a bizarre question given the store's name, but he simply answered in the affirmative.

"I am too," I said. I then explained I was visiting Ireland from the United States, looking for my roots. How I met a cousin in Co. Limerick, and he told me I had links to Co. Kerry.

He seemed interested, and we chatted for a bit.

I then asked for a photo. He said sure.

Before leaving, I explained to him how my cousin said we're related to Brendan Kennelly.

He's from Ballylongford, the hardware store owner told me. Just 10 minutes up the road. I asked about the "Kennelly's" pub I've heard about. That's in Ballylongford too, he said.

It was going to be dark soon, but I might never be just 10 minutes away again.

I thanked him, he gave me his business card, and I headed on to Ballylongford.

I pulled up in the small town and lit up with a smile when I saw a Kennelly's auto shop. But it wasn't the pub. Then I saw it across the street from the auto shop. "Kennelly's." The pub.

I promptly parked the car and walked out. The pub was closed. No one around. I got my picture in front of it anyway.

I then crossed over to the auto shop. No one around there either. Just before leaving, I thought I'd try circling the building. It was there that I saw a little office with a man inside.

I gave him a wave at the window and smiled, to show I mean no harm. He came outside to meet me.

"Do you know the Kennelly's around here?" I asked. He nodded with a slight hint of a smile but I couldn't be sure.

"Are you a Kennelly?" I asked. It was an awkward line of questioning but I wasn't sure how else to start the conversation.

"Yes, I am," he said. I then explained the same way I explained with Mike Kennelly, the owner of the hardware shop.

He opened up, introduced himself as Tim Kennelly, and we chatted for a bit. He was extremely knowledgeable about the Kennelly's so I was really fortunate to meet him.

He then told me about his uncle -- none other than Brendan Kennelly himself. And how his parents owned the pub across the street.

Brendan Kennelly is in Dublin now, he said, but from Ballylongford. He showed me a quote from Brendan hanging up at his business. Ballylongford was the inspiration behind the quote, he told me, and he showed me the exact spot Brendan was inspired by.

Besides his name being Tim, he said his grandfather was Tim too.

Of course, I have an uncle named Tim Kanalley.

It's a small world after all.

An Irish Missionary

 

The missionaries in Shanghai are mostly of French nationality, a few countrymen of the saintly martyr of Molokai, and one worthy son of St. Patrick. The Rev. F. M. Kennelly, S.J., was born about forty years ago at Listowel, North Kerry, and belongs to a highly respected family still represented there. One of his brothers is parish priest at Clunes, Victoria. (Father Kennelly of Clunes is a personal friend of the editor of the N.Z. Tablet). Two members of the family are Sisters of Mercy in Sacramento, Cal., and two brothers reside in New York. Father Kennelly, like the saintly Brendan of Clonfert, was early imbued with the missionary spirit. He came to China in 1885, and has not seen the land of his birth since. He was ordained a priest in 1890 and had been engaged for six years teaching in Shanghai. The field of his missionary activity is immense and also extends to visiting men-o-war, hospitals, prisons, police stations, and the many other arduous duties of a priest, which are known only to himself and Almighty God. From his busy life, however, he snatches moments to contribute articles to the local press and the New York Messenger. His name is on every tongue from Hong Kong to Chefoo, and many a poor, hard-up sailor he has befriended. Being an eminent lingiuist, speaking French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and several Chinese dialects he still is proud of the Gaelic tongue of his beloved Eire, which he regards as an invaluable auxiliary in the acquisition of languages. Father Kennelly is rather difficult to catch, but if you happen to be occasionally lucky you are introduced to a plain room with a bare floor, a crucifix on the wall, a picture of our Lady, a portrait of the Pope, a few books on a shelf, a secretaire, and the only other chair in the room is offered you with a hearty cead mile failte. Though a little beyond the prime of life and a few silvery hairs discernible, the intellect and vigor of the Gael is at once apparent in the ample forehead, the firm lips and chin, the hearty hand shake, the natural smile, the twinkling, kindly eye, the sympathetic expressions of the priestly heart, and the magnetic versatility polished by culture and the touches of that rich accent alone peculiar to those born under the shadows of the hills that inspired vigor and eloquence in The Liberator. Father Kennelly intends shortly to publish, probably in the New York Messenger, an interesting history of the Catholic missions in China, which promises to be a literary as well as a historical treat.

Hi Dorothy!
This is the only information I have on Michael: He and his wife Ellen Larkin first settled in West Bend, WI. In 1868 they moved to Princeton, MN. I do not know when they came to America, or if they were married here or in Ireland. I do not know when either were born or when they were married. Michael died April 11, 1892 and Ellen June 6, 1898. They had seven children: Mary Jane, Clarissa, James Albert, Kathrine E., C.M., Winnifred, and Agnes. They were Catholic, and then Ellen got into a disagreement with the Priest and was not allowed to be buried in the Catholic cemetery.
I know that it isn't a lot to go on, but hopefully it helps!
Thank you!!

Arthur E. Kennelly. (Source: IEEE History Center)

Arthur Edwin Kennelly, the son of an Irish naval officer, was born near Bombay, India, on 17 December 1861. After having attended a variety of elementary schools, Kennelly obtained a position as office boy with the London society of Telegraph Engineers (predecessor of the Institution of Electrical Engineers), where he remained for two years. He then left England, procuring practical experience in the field through such positions as assistant electrician in Malta, 1878; chief electrician of a cable repairing steamer, 1881; and senior ship's electrician to the Eastern Telegraph Co., 1886. Kennelly came to America in 1887 and joined the staff of Thomas A. Edison as principal electrical assistant, acting, in addition, as consulting electrician for the Edison General Electric and the General Electric Companies. He left Edison in 1894 to form, with Edwin James Houston, the firm of Houston & Kennelly, Consulting Electrical Engineers, in Philadelphia. Kennelly was retained in 1902 by the Mexican government to be in charge of the laying of the Vera Cruz-Frontera-Campeche cables.

That same year, however, Kennelly moved his main activities from the world of business to that of academia, serving as professor of electrical engineering at Harvard University from 1902-1930 as well as at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1913-1924. In addition, he was an exchange professor in applied science to France during 1921-1922, a research associate of the Carnegie Institution 1924-1930, and the first visiting electrical engineering lecturer to the lwadare Foundation, Japan, in 1931.

Kennelly's contributions to electrical engineering were numerous. In 1893, he presented a paper on 'Impedance" to the American Institute of Electrical Engineers in which he discussed the first use of complex numbers as applied to Ohm's Law in alternating current circuit theory. He also later elucidated the use of complex hyperbolic functions in the solution of line problems. Independently of Oliver Heaviside, Kennelly proposed the existence of an ionized layer in the upper atmosphere, now known as the Kennelly-Heaviside layer, as the reflecting surface which made transoceanic wireless communication possible.

Kennelly was the recipient of the awards of many nations, including the IEEE Institution Premium (1887), the Franklin Institute Howard Potts Gold Medal (1917), the Cross of a Chevalier of the Legion d'Honneur of France and the AIEE Edison Medal (1933) "For meritorious achievements in electrical science, electrical engineering and the electrical arts as exemplified by his contributions to the theory of electrical transmission and to the development of international electrical standards."He was awarded the IRE Medal of Honor in 1932, "For his studies of radio propagation phenomena and his contributions to the theory and measurement methods in the alternating current circuit field which now have extensive radio application."He was an active participant in professional organizations such as the Society for the Promotion of the Metric System of Weights and Measures, the Illuminating Engineering Society and the U.S. National Committee of the International Electrotechnical Commission, and also served as the president of both the AIEE and the Institute of Radio Engineers during 1898-1900 and 1916, respectively.Kennelly died in Boston on 18 June 1939.

JOHN KENEALY

was born in County Cork, Ireland, in October, 1838. At the age of fifteen years
he was employed as a clerk in a large dry-goods establishment in the city of
Cork. In a few years he was advanced to the position of buyer and commercial
traveler. In September, 1865, he was arrested by the British Government for
connection with the Irish National party known as the Fenian movement. He was
convicted and sentenced to ten years penal servitude for the crime of trying to
restore to Ireland her national independence. He served two years in the prisons
of Pentonville and Portland, England, and two years in the penal colony of
Western Australia.
Forced by public opinion, the British Government released the political
prisoners before the term of their sentences expired. Mr. Kenealy arrived in San
Francisco in January, 1870. Here he married Miss Hennessy, a sister of one of
his fellow compatriots. He became connected with a large wholesale house in that
city, as general salesman and manager of a department. In March, 1875, he came
to Los Angeles, with Mr. Richard Dillon, his brother-in-law, and engaged in the
dry-goods business, under the firm name of Dillon & Kenealy. After a very
successful business career, they closed out their dry-goods stock in this city,
three years ago. They have yet a store at Phoenix, Arizona. They have a fine
young vineyard of over 200 acres, from four to six years old, near Roscoe, four
miles above Burbank; also have large wineries and make their own wine and
brandy. They are also interested jointly and separately in other valuable real
estate. Mr. and Mrs. Kenealy have two children, a daughter sixteen and a son
fourteen years of age.

Set against a back-drop of sparkling snow-capped peaks, the distinctive grey and scarlet of Loreto Convent, Tara Hall, whether kissed by the brilliance of a summer sun, or veiled by the frosty whiteness of winter snow or bathed in the deep hues of a vivid monsoon sunset, is ever a source of pride and joy to all associated with it. But let us turn back the pages of time to 1892 when, in response to a pressing request from the Archbishop of Agra, Dr.Van Den Bosch, O.C. for a school to provide a good education to Catholic children, Mother Gonzaga Joyce and a few Sisters arrived in Simla, the summer capital of the Viceroy, to plant Loreto's banner in this hill station.

The journey had been fatiguing and arduous, the roads winding perilously round cliffs or along ridges with an abyss on either side but the elderly Superior was a soul of prayer and had all the gifts or organization which mark a pioneer. The only comment left by her companions reads : "Those who travel first on any road get all the hardness bumps and jolts, but they have the honour of leaving beaten, smooth tracks for those who come after them. At first the Sisters took up the day school below the Bazar which had formerly served as the Catholic Church and had been managed by lady teachers. Some time later "Firewood" was rented and the nuns took in boarders as well as day pupils. Later again, the "Mythe" a larger house with more extensive grounds, was rented for a year.
Finally it was in Kaithu, on the edge of the town, that Mother Gonzaga found what she wanted - the two properties of Tara Hall and Belle Vue offered for sale together. Here the Sisters established themselves on 30-11-1895, overcoming the hazards of space, restraints of finance, problems with domestic help, inclement weather. The early Nuns owe a debt of gratitude to their good friend Fr. Callistus, O.C. who was always at hand and never missed a Mass. If the Franciscan spirit of poverty and simplicity left its mark on Tara Hall so did the Franciscan spirit of Joy. Plays and concerts did their shares in fashioning. The young minds and in a short time the pupils were distinguishing themselves in the Music Examinations of Trinity College and the Royal Academy, London. Debating the literary clubs flourished and games were played with zest Of special delight were picnics to places of scenic beauty.

The school population was largely Catholic and the Sodality of our Lady flourished among the Senior Girls. In 1889 the Mother Superior opened "St. Joseph's Day School". For six years the two schools ran side by side but when Tara Hall sought recognition, the Ministry of Education granted it on condition that the two schools should amalgamate and be known as "the Loreto Boarding and Day School". This benefited both sets of students and enabled the nuns to be used far more advantageously.

St. Patrick's Day School was opened in March 1946 at Willoiw Bank, The Mall, with 4 pupils. We transferred to the Chalet in July 1947. Numbers grew, improvements were made in the house. Finally in 1977 the Sisters withdrew and it was disposed of to the Evanmgelical Church. Meanwhile Tara Hall advanced from strength to strength, additions being made in the form of classrooms, laboratories, a Concert Hall and a Library. It advanced from the High School Examination of the Punjab to the Cambridge Overseas Examination. However, December 1975 witnessed a dramatic change - gone were the days of dormitory chatter and dining room clatter, of splashig in washrooms and excitement at favourite puddings for, regretfully Tara Hall was compelled to close the residential school, bringing to an end a very special era of its history.

With this began a new epoch - As a day school Loreto Convent could accommodate larger numbers till today we have 1150 on the rolls. This points to the veried social spectrum represented, to the variety of children and to the variety of opportunities, from Computer Sciences to Social Service, which Tara Hall affords them. Loreto Convent, now a hundred years old, stands as a monument to the perseverance and success of those pioneers who paved the way for generation upon generation of young women to become fully human persons, with a sense of personal worth, a good relationship with God, self and other - women of honesty and integrity, agents of change in a changing world - a mission as immense as a mightly Himalayas that stand guardian to Tara Hall, Shimla.

TARA HALL" A CENTURY OF EXCELLENCE TARA Hall celebrated its centenary on a grand scale with an Old Girls' Reunion. Five years ago,in 1995, the daughters of the Sacred Heart took over the management of this institution with the same objective as that of the Loretto nuns - to educate the girls child and to mound her into a responsible citizen. Over the years, Tara Hall took the identity of Sacred Heart Convent School. But its basic values of sincerity, justice and freedom - the path on which the educational tradition were set up - remain as before. They maintain the motto - "Those who travel first on any road get all the bumps and jolts, but they have the honour to light the torch, to lead those who come after them. The student strength is around 1,300 with 42 qualified teachers who are supervised by the nuns. The School was converted into a day scholar's school in 1976.

Affiliated to ICSE,the school is divided into two sections within the campus. One is the junior section of students from KG upto class V with a separate sister in charge. The other is the senior section till Class X. The subjects taught include science, social sciences, English, Hindi and Computer Science. The school has a well-stocked library and has well-equipped laboratories. The students are encouraged to participate in academic as well as co-curricular activities.

The latter comprise competitions in athletics, quiz, education, debate, dance, drama, flower arrangement and the annual function. The school is continuing its endeavour to improve the infrastructure. New course as well as modern facilities are also being ushered in. The school plans to have its own auditorium in the future.

Photographs and some articles

A word from the Principal

I first came to Scoil Mhuire Lourdes in 1977 as a young, newly qualified teacher. I began my career under the caring, expert and inspiring guidance of Sr. Philomena, the Principal at that time. In 1977, the teach¬ing staff comprised of 5 nuns and 3 lay teachers.

I consider myself privileged to have worked under the leadership of Sr. Philomena, Sr. Betty and Sr. Francesca and also to have worked closely with many nuns from the Brigidine Order as fellow teachers.

Since I came here, many good people have come and gone and many changes have taken place, not only in our educational system but also in our school staffing. Gradually the number of lay teachers increased as the

number of teaching sisters decreased. But, sadly, the retirement of Sr. Betty and Sr. Paula last year also her¬alded the end of an era. This school year is the first in the school's history without a Brigidine staff member. It is indeed a sad loss.

Thanks, everyone. I'll be busily reading the digests.

Link to Chicago Mayor Kennelly?
Posted by Craig Kanalley on 8/12/2009
Last September, when I first moved to Chicago, I threw together a blog post of my genealogical connections to the city.

The most interesting and ironic link from that list was that my great-grandfather Wallace Kanalley came to Chicago looking for work in 1920 at the age of 18, not far away from my coming at 23. He spent time as a watchman, but obviously didn't stay, as he was in Buffalo a few years later (where I grew up), and had my grandfather Kenneth in Buffalo in 1932.

Since then, I've also learned that some of my Bulger relatives came from Canada to Chicago in the late 1800's (not listed in that original post).

And tonight, an old video triggered an old memory.

The video is literally old, though I found it in the most new media of ways. A YouTube video depicting 1948 night life in Chicago, I came across it while doing work with Twitter during my internship today at the Chicago Tribune.

At 1:39-1:43, the video mentions Colonel McCormick, former Tribune publisher, who @ColonelTribune was inspired by.

Interestingly, the man introduced in the video right before Colonel is "the honorable Mayor Martin H. Kennelly." Mayor of Chicago from 1947 to 1955, the name immediately brought back memories.

Chicago Mayor Martin H. Kennelly, 1947, Photo by Time (OK for personal use)

 

About five years ago or so, long before I knew I'd ever come to Chicago, a distant relative of mine said they had heard we're related to a Mayor Martin Kennelly. I knew he was from Chicago, but I didn't know when he served. How ironic I came across him in the video...

INTERESTINGLY, the guy in the video pronounces the surname the way I pronounce mine, and even more interesting I think, I know for a fact my name used to be spelled Kennelly in Ireland. I'm very confident there's a link.

I did a little digging. He was born in Chicago in 1887 and his father is said to have come from Ballylongford, Co. Kerry, according to genealogy forums. County Kerry neighbors County Limerick, where my ancestor Thomas Kennelly was born in about 1820. Again, I'm sure there's some kind of connection. It's even possible that Thomas had a brother who was Martin's grandfather, making the former Mayor and my great-grandfather Wallace just second cousins.

So here's the video... watch from about 1:34-1:39.

FAIRFIELD, Conn. – The following letter was submitted by former state Rep. Tom Drew in support of Board of Education candidate Jennifer Maxon Kennelly.

 

Dear Editor:

I give my strongest support to Jen Kennelly for election to Fairfield’s Board of Education. Jen has a truly exceptional background that would make her ideal to provide unique value to our school board. Jen currently teaches English literature at Greenwich High School, providing her with the personal know how to prepare students to successfully compete from one of the most advanced public high schools in Connecticut. We need Jen Kennelly’s real life experience for our children in Fairfield.

As a young professional administrator, Jen turned around a parochial school in New York’s “Hell’s Kitchen,” achieving significantly raised academic performance, increasing enrollment, reversing fiscal deficits, creating financial stability and, as coach of the basketball, team turning around a failed program into state champs.

Jen and her husband have three children attending Fairfield public schools and are dedicated to our community with many years serving with PTA activities, co-founding our Board of Education Cultural Diversity Task Force and achieving a gold medal performance as coach of the Stratfield Elementary School’s fifth grade International Odyssey of the Mind Competition.

Jen believes in excellence for our children and she has demonstrated that she brings out the excellence in our children. Please vote for Jen Kennelly for Board of Education on Election Day.

— Tom Drew

 

 

 

 

 

I have just joined this list and have been scanning through the archives

to see what has already been posted. I was pleased to see some names

there of list members whom I have corresponded with in the past on other

lists. Some background on my research interests:

 

I live in Burnaby, BC, Canada (near Vancouver) and am descended from a

line of Kennellys that I have been able to trace back to Limerick City

in 1820. Earlier than 1820 is estimation/reasoned deduction at this

point in time.

 

My ggg grandparents were Edmond Kennelly and Anne Fitz Gerald both b.

circa 1790 and m. circa 1811. They had four known children, based on

information in the 1841 census of Liverpool: Jeremiah b. circa 1813;

John b. circa 1817; Mary bap. 1 Feb 1820 @ St. Michael's (RC), Limerick;

and Margaret bap. 24 April 1821 also @ St. Michael's. Jeremiah m.

Johanna Lynch 18 May 1832 also @ St. Michael's and they had a dau. Ann

b. 1833 - probably in Limerick. Sometime between May 1832 and December

1839, the family moved to Liverpool where Edmond and Anne's dau. Mary m.

Cornelius Donovan 8 Dec 1839 and Jeremiah and Johanna's second dau. Mary

was b. Christmas Day 1839. With the exception of Edmond, the entire

family is recorded as living together in the 1841 census of Liverpool.

Jeremiah and Johanna had three more children born in Liverpool: Jeremiah

30 May 1842, Michael 19 Dec 1843 and Bridget 8 Jul 1846. After this

date, that branch of the family disappears from the face of the earth.

 

My gg grandfather is Edmond and Anne's second son, John, who m.

Catherine Collins (b. circa 1821 in Waterford, Ireland - dau. of

Bartholomew Collins) 20 Sept 1841. John and Catherine's family - all

born in Liverpool - consisted of three sons: Edward b. 29 Jun 1842, m.

Ellen Campion 31 Oct 1871 (they had 12 children, all born in Liverpool)

and d. 7 Jan 1918; John (my g grandfather - details to follow) and

William b. 1854, m. Ann Murray 24 Jan 1881 (1 dau. Mary Margaret b. 17

Jul 1889) and d. 8 Feb 1891; and four daughters: Catherine b. 27 Jun

1844; Ellen b 23 Dec 1846; Mary b. 27 Jun 1851; and Ann b. 6 Apr 1856.

gg gm Catherine d. 17 Jan 1879 and gg gf John d. 4 Feb 1888.

 

John Kennelly ( my g grandfather) b. 3 Apr 1849, m. Margaret Ann Doyle

(b. 4 Apr 1862, dau. Gregory Doyle & Catherine Furlong) 11 Oct 1881.

They had five children: John Gregory b. 7 Aug 1882, Thomas b. 21 Jan

1885, Catherine b. 15 Apr 1887, Mary b. 9 Aug 1889 and Dora b. 21 Mar

1891. Mary and Dora both died in infancy. John (ggf) d. 25 Jul 1927 and

Margaret (Maggie) d. 18 Jun 1938.

 

My grandfather, Thomas, joined the Royal Navy and served as a signaller

aboard H.M.S. Shearwater in the far East (China Station). He took his

discharge from the R.N. in Vancouver, Canada, in 1901 where he met

Marguerite Ann Smart (b. 29 Jan 1883, dau. of blacksmith George William

Smart and Mary Ann Elizabeth Carter) and they were m. 10 May 1911. They

had two children, Francis John (my father (Frank)) b. 12 Sept 1912 and

Doreen Elizabeth Sheila, b. 9 Jan 1916. In 1917, the family moved from

Vancouver to Victoria and in 1926 Thomas joined the BC Provincial

Police, retiring from the force in 1950 with the rank of sergeant.

 

Frank married Joan Margaret Read (b. 26 Dec 1915, dau. Robert Avery Read

and Amelia Annie Mellor) on 25 Mar 1937. Frank and Joan both died in a

motor vehicle accident on 7 Sept 1992.

 

I am in regular contact with descendents of John Gregory and Catherine

(siblings of my grandfather) as well as some descendents of Edward,

Catherine and Ann ( siblings of my g grandfather). I am hoping to,

someday, make contact with descendents of Jeremiah and Johanna's children.

 

My research now will focus on the Limerick area as it is only in the

last couple of days that I have learned the date of Jeremiah and

Johanna's marriage through http://www.irish-roots.ie. It is also fairly

recently that I learned of Dr. Jane Lyons'

website http://www.from-ireland.net where I was able to get information

that corrected some errors in the information regarding the baptisms of

Mary and Margaret in the 1820s that I had received from the Limerick

Archives 10 years ago.

 

If any of the list members know of others whose lines may cross the ones

I have described here, please have them get in touch with me.

 

Thanks,

Greg Kennelly

 

 

 

Thanks for sending me information.

 

I don't think my Jeremiah Kennelly is related to yours. you have:

 

"Jeremiah and Johanna had three more children born in Liverpool: Jeremiah

30 May 1842, Michael 19 Dec 1843 and Bridget 8 Jul 1846. After this

date, that branch of the family disappears from the face of the earth."

 

While the Jeremiah born in 1842 is close in age to mine; on his marriage certificate he said his parents were John Kenneally and Maria Lynch.

 

A professional genealogist helping me thinks my Kenealys came from County Cork. If you ever come across a John and Maria, please let me know.I realize these are very common names and even suspect that they may be first names and that is their middle name (unknown to me) that was more commonly used.

 

Sorry I cannot help you. If you ever find that you need information on Keneallys that settled first in Wellsville, Allegany County, NY then moved to Bradford, McKean copunty, PA let me know.

 

Yes, I know I used many different spellings of surname. All showed up in different records for the same couple during my research.

 

 

 

 

The Kennelley family that lived in Bradford, are my line of Kennelleys.

There was James & Stephen who had gone to visit their brother Michael

Kennelley. James & Stephen decided to hop a freight & go back home, I believe in

Mill Hall or in that area. James had been drinking & possibly Stephen. When

the freight slowed as they came into Ridge Way, Stephen said, he was

getting off to check on something & told his brother, James, to stay put, that

he'd be right back. Then, James decided to get off and jumped. When he did

his body was cut in half, a horrible death. His body was taken back to

Bradford. It is thought that James was buried there. Their father was James Sr. I

notice there's a William that lived there. My family has many with the

names, Daniel, Stephen, William, & James Kennelley-Kinley- Kennelly-Kenley

etc. If are interested get in contact with me at _Irishlovey@aol.com_

(mailto:Irishlovey@aol.com) . I would certainly appreciate it & will share with

you. Dorothy (Kennelley) Aulenbacher/Cote.........from Erie, PA

 

 

 

Hi Greg, I've read your posting on your Kennelly Family and just thought

you may want to hear from another Kennelly. I'm descended from Daniel

Kennelly, b. 24 dec 1775. It's believed he came to America when he was 9-12

years old. He lived at Hagerstown, Washington Co., Maryland, when he m 26 May

1803 Jane Shannon, b. 13 Feb 1786. Her father, a Scotchman, John Shannon,

from MD. had served in the Am. Rev. The Shannons were living in Mercersberg,

PA when Daniel & Jane married, so that's where they went to live for a

short while. Then both families packed up wagons and moved to Penns Valley, a

place in Spring Mills, Haines Twp (later Gregg Twp) Centre Co PA where

Daniel & Jane had 16 children. I have their names dates & who they married etc.

Their 6th child was my GG grandfather James Kennelly, b 1812. Hoping to

hear from you. Dottie from Erie, PA

 

 

 

 

My Patrick Kennelly was from the Ballingarry area of Co. Limerick. He was

b. between 1827-32 (differing dates on different records), to Daniel

Kennelly and Catherine Flynn.

 

I have been unable to locate any records of him or his parents in the fairly

extensive, online Co. Limerick records at BRSgenealogy.com which is

disappointing. The Ballingarry records on microfilm are very scant, and I

have looked them, but with no positive results.

 

The Ballingarry location was provided by his wife, Mary Hoare, in the NY

Emigrants Bank records. I have located her family records in Patrickswell,

a bit to the northeast of Ballingarry (both, south of Limerick City).

 

My Patrick Kennelly and Mary Hoare, raised their son Daniel and 6 daughters

in NYC, NY.

 

I continue trying to locate my Kennellys in the Ballingarry area, and would

appreciate any leads that any of you may have.

 

 

Best Wishes,

Judy Herbert

Kennelly List Administrator

I've been researching my family tree since 1998, and I've long been curious about DNA as a way to learn more about your roots. The technology has come a long way in the last decade, and it's become more affordable too. Finally, I went ahead and ordered a Y-DNA test (for my paternal line).

On Friday night, at 1:30 a.m., the results popped in my email inbox from the FamilyTreeDNA lab in Houston, Texas!

When I logged in to see the results, 29 "matches" popped up -- these are living people today with whom I share a common direct male ancestor with in about the last 1,000 years. (To be clear, the Y-DNA only passes father to son, so this traces my father's father's father, etc., and same for them.) These matches live in Ireland, England, Scotland, South Africa, the United States and presumably elsewhere (some don't list a location).

2 CLOSE MATCHES!

Of course, for any matches to come up, I need to have living blood relatives through the male line who took DNA tests themselves. And I'm so grateful and excited that two people I'm about to address did...

I had two close matches, genealogically-speaking, and the rest were more distant. The surnames to those closest matches? A Kennelly and a MacNeely, variations of my own last name. They both live in Ireland!

My relationship to the MacNeely, who I learned is about 28 years old today and lives in County Mayo, Ireland, goes back to a common male ancestor with the surname Kennelly (sometimes Mac an Fhaili in Ireland), MacNally, or McAnally who lived around the 1600s.

My relationship to the Kennelly is closer. He lives in Ireland today in County Cork near the border with County Limerick (where my great-great-great-grandfather Thomas Kennelly was born -- he immigrated to Canada during the Potato Famine). We seem to both descend of a Kennelly born in the 1700s.

What makes the connection to these two men so interesting is that most Irish genealogical records burned in fires in Dublin and don't exist today. Without them, it's hard to trace Irish roots any further back than the 1800s. But nonetheless I've made links with long lost cousins, prior to that time so many Irish researchers hit a brick wall.

I've written emails to both of them and hope to hear back!

MORE LINKS + THE 'ADAMS' FAMILY

The rest of the matches are more distant, though interestingly I found both a McKee and a McGee, with whom I have a common male ancestor in Ireland who lived around the 1400s or earlier. Also a McSorley, a Koster, a Walker, a Crauford and a Hannon who all share common male ancestors with me back around the same period.

But what I found most interesting of the distant matches -- the ADAMS connection. Three of my matches were males with the last name ADAMS. There was also one female whose maiden name was ADAMS (likely submitting a male relative's DNA) and one Smith who says he traces back (father's father's father, etc.) to a male Adams. There was a second Smith who I suspect could also go back to an Adams.

In all, that's five Adams descendants, possibly six, in my 29 matches. And sure enough, I learned the DNA subgroup / family group of former U.S. presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams matches my own.

John Adams and John Quincy Adams trace their Adams roots back to southwestern England, right across the water from southern Ireland, where my Kennelly roots lie.

My matches showed that my genealogical relationship to the Adams family lies in a common male ancestor way back, around the 1100s or 1200s. It's my best guess that an Adams, or a member of the same family in which male relatives took Adams as a surname, migrated from southwestern England to Ireland around that time period or shortly after, and that my Kennellys descend from this family.

It's also possible, however, that the connection goes back to before surnames were used at all, as they were just sprouting up around that time.

Either way, there is no doubt that I am blood related to the Adams family if you trace back through Y-DNA (my father's father's father, etc., and theirs). Eventually, we hit a single male figure who we both come from. And that's pretty cool.

ANCIENT HISTORY

I did some more research on my Y-DNA haplogroup, R1b1a2, and if you keep going back (through my father's father's father, etc.), my direct male ancestors were Celtics. They seem to have lived in Western Europe at the time of Jesus Christ and the Ancient Romans and Ancient Greeks likely saw them as uncivilized barbarians. They were likely tribal people in B.C. times, nomadic herders, moving around as famines and droughts hit.

Migration patterns show that my DNA group likely originated in western Asia, in the Middle East or Black Sea region (modern day Turkey), living there 20,000 and 30,000 years ago. There are relatives with similar DNA going thousands of years back in what is now Iran, India, Syria, Israel and Turkey. This family group also branched off into Africa, where the Y-DNA is alive and well in Central Africa. One branch ended up in Egypt specifically, and the Egyptian Pharaoh King Tut belongs to the same haplogroup as I.

After the Ice Age around 10,000 B.C., the larger haplogroup I come from R1b is believed to have brought agriculture to Europe from western Asia. It ended up becoming one of the most popular family groups in Europe, with some 50% of Western Europeans and Americans tracing back to them and 90% of those in Ireland.

My more specific subgroup R1b1a2a1a1b4 seems to have lived in southern Ireland, northern Ireland, and southwestern England in the last 1,000 years or so.

WHAT'S NEXT?

I was so excited by these results that I upgraded my account to trace my maternal line too. I also put in a "Family Finder" request so it gives me a rough overall breakdown of my genealogical DNA (what percentage I am Western European, what percentage other origins, etc.).

My DNA is already at the lab, so now I just have to wait another month or so, and I'm sure to find more interesting things.

Until then, I hope to hear back from my Kennelly and McNeely cousins overseas, who I emailed as I said earlier. I may contact some of these more distant relatives as well.

And later on, in November, I'm going to Ireland for the first time ever. I hope to track down Mr. Kennelly, Mr. MacNeely or at least more of my roots based on the new evidence I've uncovered. The power of DNA... it's really something.

Meanwhile, a post-mortem examination is to be carried out to determine the cause of death of a 30-year-old schoolteacher who died in Navan hospital on Tuesday after a routine operation.

She was named as Caitriona Kennelly, originally from Tournafulla, Co Limerick. She was teaching at Julianstown, Co Meath.

Popular local teacher dies during routine operation

By Fiona Magennis (DROGHEDA INDEPENDENT)

HUNDREDS of students, staff, parents and friends lined the rainy streets of Julianstown last week to pay a fitting final tribute to popular Whitecross NS teacher Caithriona (Cáit) Kenneally who died suddenly on Wednesday. Cáit died following complications during a routine back operation in Our Lady’s Hospital in Navan. She was undergoing the operation on a disc in her back when she began to bleed profusely. Doctors at Navan hospital are understood to have sent for help to Dublin’s Beaumont Hospital. Sources said a vascular surgeon from Beaumont was given a garda escort and rushed to the hospital. However, the popular teacher’s life could not be saved.

Refusing to apportion blame, her sister Bríd praised the staff of Our Lady’s Hospital in Navan, explaining the family had absolutely no problem with the treatment facility and thanking them for all their help. The Health Service Executive would not comment on the case but passed on their sympathies to her family.

Those who knew her formed a guard of honour in the village as the 31-year-old’s remains made the long journey from Navan to her home in Tournafulla, County Limerick. Just days earlier, Cáit had been part of the wedding party for best friend Daria Cashman and her husband Gerard Courtney, acting as bridesmaid on the big day and enjoying the celebrations.

The popular teacher, who principal Liam Burke described as ‘the best, most committed and most dedicated teacher I have ever worked with’, had endeared herself to all who knew her since moving from Limerick to Drogheda eight years ago. Her sister, Bríd, this week spoke of her ‘bubbly, outgoing personality’ and said Cáit was a person who loved life and lived it to the full.

WIDESPREAD tributes have been paid to the young Co Limerick teacher at Whitecross National School, Julianstown, who died in tragic circumstances during an operation she was undergoing at Our Lady’s Hospital, Navan, last week.Cathriona Kenneally (31), originally from Ballycommane, Tournafulla, Co Limerick, was undergoing what was described as a routine operation on a disc in her back when she began to bleed profusely.

Doctors at the Navan hospital sent for help to Dublin’s Beaumont Hospital and a vascular surgeon from Beaumont was given a Garda escort from the city and rushed to the hospital. However, the woman’s life could not be saved.The Health Service Executive (HSE) North East Area confirmed that a woman had died on Tuesday of last week due to complications that occurred during surgery.The HSE said that it would not comment further pending a post mortem examination and extended sympathies to Ms Kenneally’s family.

A spokesperson for the family said this week that they did not wish to comment on Cathriona’s death other than to say that they had no issues to raise with the hospital.

During her time at Whitecross NS, Ms Kenneally was deeply involved in the schoolchildren’s soccer movement This week, Paul Holland, co-ordinator of the Meath and Leinster FAI Schools Five-A-Side Soccer League, said he had known Cathriona Kenneally since 2001. “She was involved with the league for the past five years. She was well-known and popular with all the children and she was a very sporting person. In fact, she was the epitome of what the word sport meant.

“She was able to take defeat as well as victory in a very sporting fashion and she passed this on to the children. I remember when her team was involved in a semi-final in 2001 with my own team, Gaelscoil na Rithe, Dunshaughlin. It was a very tight match which we won by the golden goal.Cáitríona was outstanding in defeat.”

Mr Holland said Ms Kenneally was a “very cheerful, friendly and caring person to all the children. She will be sadly missed . I extend my deepest sympathy to her family and friends.”

Deceased is survived by her parents, Michael and Eileen; brothers, Michael, David and Brendan, and sisters, Bríd and Deirdre.The funeral took place in Tournafulla on Saturday.

Kennelly Bridge Complete!

The bridge at Kennelly Forest in Dublin was completed about a week ago! This bridge has been a complicated project from the beginning, as we realized that in order to span this extremely flashy stream we'd need a bridge that was roughly 30 feet long.

All told, we estimate that the Kennelly bridge involved well over 300 hours of volunteer power! Many thanks all the volunteer land stewards who worked on this project, espeically Bart Hunter, Walter Weeks, Alan Cort, Hiel Lindquist, Ray Jackson, Mark Kresge, Ruth Ward, and Karl Putnam. Amazing work everyone!

My grandfather, Jim Kennelly left Moyvane for America August 25, 1909. His brother Tim and Mary Jane Hanrahan were married in November 1909. Tim and Mary Jane farmed the land Tim inherited from his father Daniel. They had 15 children bet. 1910 and 1926, including Michael in 1914 who came to live with my grandfather and his family in New York in 1929. Michael eventually became a Jesuit priest and and president of Loyola University.

 

 

 

 

 

I imagine some of his brothers and sisters descendants may still live in or near Moyvane. Just curious if any of you out there had a grandfather or great grandfather Tim Kennelly, a farmer (he died in 1955, Mary Jane in 1970)? their children included: Fr. Michael Kennelly SJ, Danny Kennelly (1910-2005), John Joe Kennelly ( a champion Irish Step dancer), Jimmy Kennelly (1913-2005), Elizabeth Kennelly Kelly, Tim Kennelly, Mary (Mai) Kennelly Conlon. These all might have been grandparents to adult villagers today. I’ve traced our family in Moyvane back to Daniel Kennelly’s marriage in 1876 to Kate Thornton in the Kilbaha, Moyvane church. Daniel’s father John Kennelly owned a farm that the Kennelly’s supposedly farmed for more two centuries from the 1700’s to 1900’s.

 

 

 

 

 

If anyone out there has a family connection to any of these folks above. I’d love to hear about it. Much thanks. PS: You have some great athletes in this village!
