I am seaching for information on Michael Flynn, wife Catherine?He was from Roscommom, born probably in the 1830's The only child I know of is a son John James Flynn, born in 1864, my grandfather. John J. married Catherine McManus (mother was a Dunne)from Fermangh in NY 1891. John and Catherine lived in Yonkers NY then Jersey City, NJ. They had four children - John,Ann,Catherine and Frank. Any information would be appreciated.
