Hello, and thanks for
stopping in! This web page is dedicated to
my
KEARNS ancestry research.
Descendants of Michael Kearns (1817-1901) born Ireland
1. Michael KEARNS was born about 1817 in Ireland. His parents were
born in Ireland. He married Mary CONNAUGHTON. Mary and her parents
were born in Ireland. In 2005, Georgeann visited
the townland of Derryvode, Parish of Templetogher, County Galway,
Ireland. This is where
Michael and Mary Connaughton Kearns's son was born in 1848. Georgeann visited a
Kearns home which was built in the early 1800s (or earlier). It was across from
a home owned by a Connaughton family. Click here to see pictures of that Kearns
home:
