Hello!
I am the great x 2 grand-daughter of Frank Kenny. Frank was also related to Donal Ruadh Kenny (Leo Casey wrote a poem about him). Frank died in 1870. There were a few tragedies over the years and so much history has been lost. I am very keen to build my family tree around Tang and would appreciate any information that anyone might have. Frank had children Edward and Bridget who went to the US to Boston, Joseph (my line) who had a family in Ballinasloe and died there in 1936, Martha and Anne. Anne married Edward Farrell and had children in the area who I believe some are still in the area. One name that stands out is Marcella Farrell. It is thought he was married to Mary but that could also be "Mary Bridget". There is a census entry for a Bridget Mulvihill who's son was William. I feel the are related but they are not the same family.
I found this article online which touches on what I am looking for but I cannot find much more. https://www.thememorytrail.com/place/2724
Thank you and much obliged if anyone knows about these stories.
Rachel.

Hi Rachel,
I have directed your message to two volunteers in Co.Westmeath. This particular parish isn't listed as their local parish but hopefully they might be able to offer some advice as to where you could find out more information.
Best wishes
