I don't know if we are related or if I'm even doing this right but, my grandmother was born in Drumshanbo and her name was Mary Katherine <br>McPadden, she came to America in about 1927 and married my Grand father Joseph Martin. From what I have been able to find out she was <br>sponsored by the Travers family. Somehow the McQueeny name also comes into play. We visited Drumshanbo several years ago and met my dads <br>uncle Johnny, he was the post man for Drumshanbo. I have been trying to fid out more and I understand my fathers cousin Pat is also trying<br>to put together a family tree. Let me know something via e-mail as I am not real sure how I found this page. thanks, Patrick<p>: I am looking for ancestors of Myles McPadden born Drumkerrin Co Leitrim about1829,Married Bridget Clune in New Zealand 1873, died NZ 1913. <br>: He had at least one brother and possibly a second brother or sister who went to America. <br>: The brother had at least one child, Mary Caufield(nee McPadden) who was living in New York city in 1950. <br>: The other brother or sister had a child Anne Aherne also living in Brooklyn NY city in 1950.<br>: Myles also had a sister, Bridget McParland living in Co Leitrim at the time of his death in 1913 to whom he left a small amount of money in his will. <br>: I have not benn able to identify her in the 1901 census.<br>: If any of these details tie in with your research I would like to hear from you.
