    Locate the TIERNEY townland in Dysart, Clare, Ireland

    Prove my lineage to pre-1861 Ohio to the standards of the Ohio Genealogical Society.

    Locate the Tipperary townland where the ARMSTRONG - CULLEN - KELLY - LEAHEY group originated.

Tombstone Tuesday: Johanna LEAHEY KELLY (1848 – 1894)

Posted by Ambar on 10th February 2009

Johanna Leahey Kelly's grave marker

Kelly, Johanna grave marker, St Mary’s Catholic Cemetery, Union City, Randolph, Indiana, USA; photograph by Suzanne Stamper-Youmans, 23 Apr 2008. Digital copy privately held by Jean Marie Diaz, [ADDRESS FOR PRIVATE USE], Linden, California. 2009.

Johanna LEAHEY KELLY is my second great-grandmother, another of the ancestors I didn’t know I had before I started this project. I have a photograph of her ten surviving children, but none of her. Not yet, anyway. Scanfest ahoy!

I particularly appreciate how these posts make me review my use of the evidence. For example, until I looked hard at this image, I had Johanna’s birth date as ‘c. 1849′. Oops!
