Queeney family of ?Toughboy, Co. Ros. c. 1860's

[Nancy Flaherty]

Am searching for Catherine Queeney's family, she married Michael Smyth of Drynan, Co. Galway in 1870's? They are my gggrandparents, we have nothing in family history written down other than the names and the towns they came from. My great grandmother is Ellen Josephine Smyth, b. May 12, 1875, Drynan, Galway. She married Michael Joseph Flaherty, b. July 12, 1869, Milltown, Galway. Family history is he served in Spanish American War after emigrating to US. Whether they married before or after that(emigration) is unknown. He is buried in Manila, P.I. where the family was stationed, she returned to USA, settling in San francisco with five kids in 1910s and the next three generations have remained primarily in Bay Area. We know that M. J. Flaherty emigrated to Boston with a brother but what year is still unclear. Thanks for any help. Nancy
