Croal and Keaney Families of Leitrim

[Colin Crowell]

I'm searching for any information on the Croals of Leitrim. My grandfather John Croal (Crowell)<br>came to America in the 1920s. He married Mary Keaney of Leitrim in the USA. His family was originally from Rossinver or Kiltyclogher.<br>I am interested in ANY information on the Croals or Keaneys. In particular, I'm looking for information<br>on where the Croals are originally from. I have been told various stories by people that Croal is not really<br>an Irish surname and that it is originally English or Scottish or Dutch. Again, any information would be greatly appreciated!!!<br>Thank you!

: He married Mary Keaney of Leitrim in the USA. <p>Do you have any more specific information about Mary Keaney (where she was from, when she emigrated to the US, where she was married, etc.)? With more information, I can ask around the family. My immediate branch of Keaneys is from Manorhamilton in Leitrim. If you look back for older Keaney posts to this bulletin board, you'll find information from Michael Keany, who has done much more research than I have about Keaney family history. With more information, I might be able to help you, but Michael would be a better source. I'm afraid I won't be much help about the Croals, sorry!<p>:) Maura Keaney<br>

Here's some additional information<br>on the Keany/Keaney dynasty. My grandmother Mary Anne Keany<br>came to the US around 1928. I know that she had the following siblings:<br>Joseph, Michael, Susan, who remained in Ireland (I believe Michael is still <br>living in Leitrim), as well as brothers John and Patrick <br>who came to the US and lived in the New York area. My grandmother lived in <br>the Bronx until her death in 1967. Any connections? Thank You!
