Hello, My ancestor is Mary Healy, born around 1827 and presumably from Fermanagh. I have a dna match with a gentleman from Ireland who is named Fionan O'Healai and his Healy ancestors appear to be from Achil, Mayo. I am hoping that perhaps there is a connection with your Healy folks. My Mary married John Edwards and they were living in Brooklyn New York around 1844 and eventually moved upstate to work in the Iron mines at Ticonderoga, NY. You can contact me at dstreeter@juno.com. Thank You.
