Banks/Feeheleys in Leitrim?

[Michael Feeheley Da Costa]

Can anyone with an Irish phonebook tell me if there are any families with the surnames Banks or Feeheley (variant spellings) left in Country Leitrim or Sligo? I am trying to see if I still have any distant relatives in the area.<p>Thanks!!!<p>Mike

My clan is from the east<br>end of Galway in Ballinasloe on the border of <br>Roscommon. I was not able to establish a link <br>between the Feehily's of Sligo and our clan further<br>south. I did learn that variant spellings of our<br>great name owe their origin to the different ways<br>in which families translated the old "Irish" name<br>into english. My cousin in Ballinasloe--also Jack <br>Feehily--told me the irish spelling was o'faichlich.<br>Hope this info is of some help. If you have more<br>information about Feehilys I would be eager to<br>know.<p>Cette mille failte,<br>Jack Feehily<br>Moore, Oklahoma
