I show James Harney's parents are John Harney and Catherine Lon g. Your letter had "Lolig?" as her surname. The original record must ha ve had poor handwriting.John Harney was a farmer from the parish of Shyane, Coolgarane, Thurles Ti pperary, Ireland. Coolgarrane is 3.25 Irish miles NNE of Thurles. He w as born Feb 1835, and immigrated to the US around 1877. His children: Jam es, and Thomas (twins), Mary, Margaret, Michael and John were all bo rn in Ireland (Civil birth records).It appears there is an older son named Richard also who came to this count ry too, but his birth record in Ireland has not been found. He is found li ving near this family on all the records. A family member emailed me th at they thought there was another daughter named Catherine but I have fou nd no records on her as yet. Linda

>> Grand pa celebrated his birthday on the 23rd and he told me himself thathe was 11 years old when he came to this country. Perhaps the baptismal
date is the "birthday" recognized by the Church.> Yes, I remember when he died..the many trips to St. Mary's hospital inDuluth. In fact, Dad and I were there when he died..I heard a strangenoise..first "dead rattle" I ever heard. First time I ever had lamb too,in hospital cafeteria. It was awful!... and when he died they had a wakeat the farm....all the cousins were there. Mary Catherine and Tommy, Patand Tim and Jimmy and Marj and me..John wasn't born until November.Grandpa lay in state in the parlor while people streamed in and out. Nodrinking of course as Anna Ryan was in charge. But Tommy, ever the daredevil, dared me to touch Grandpa's hand when no one was there..and ofcourse, I did..not to be outdone by Tommy as I was 6 weeks older than hi m.Pat and Tim and Marj and JImmy didn't dare. We had a wild time, wecousins...all too young to know what was going on. First time I ever sawmy Dad cry...tears streamed down his face. Your mother carried you aroundas you were only about 5 months old. And we had a score of religious. I
still have pictures of the nuns in their immense habits.
>> My name was changed by Monsignor Lamair when I was baptized at Sacredheart in Cloquet. The FRENCH priest, much to Anna's horror, filled theslip out with the French spelling "Marion" and my mother, marrying aCatholic and awed by the whole process (she a Norweigian Lutheran) andhaving promised at marriage to raise the kids Catholic, followed thatspelling!!! In fact the misspelling of my name set a precedent and on theNorweigen side, Grandma JOhnson changeed her name from Maryannne to Marion ,her daughter was Marion, and I have a cousing Marion and now I have agrandaughter Marion...Your mother knew Father Lammier well.. I am not sureof the spelling but I am sure it is on Jimmy's birth certifcate too.
