Notes:

I have so far located Peter/Patrick Finnegan and wife Bridget:

Cbildren

John 10/1856(born in Massachusetts)
Rose 1/1857 (born in Massachusetts)
Ann ca 1858(possibly died young, born in WI)
Michael ca 1862(possibly died young, born in WI))
Simon 3/1865 (born in IL)
Patrick 4/1868 (born in IL)
Francis ca 1870 (born in IL)
Elizabeth 12/1873 (born in IL)
Margaret ca 1875 (born in IL)

The family appears with the first three children in the the 1860 Federal Census in Holland, Brown county, Wisconsin. Owen Finnegan, age 65 is shown living with them. I'm guessing this is either Peter's father or uncle. There are a number of Finnegan families in Holland in the 1860 census. There is also an Owen Farry and wife Catherine and their children and, I believe, her mother Mary, born ca 1792 in Ireland.

I believe I've found the immigration records for Owen himself and some of the other Finnegan family members in 1857 on the St. George. I haven't found Peter's, and based on the age of their first child, I think that Bridget was not yet married to Peter when she emigrated (date given in the 1900 census as 1846).

Daughter Rose married Emmett Carraher in Nebraska (Schoolcraft, Madison County) and they had a large family in Nebraska. Their daughter Mary (called Mollie) Carraher married Charles Gillespie in Schoolcraft, NE. Their son is the paternal grandfather to my kids, so I'm trying to backtrack and include this information in the family tree. I'd like to confirm that Peter was Owen's son, determine what Bridget's maiden name was and (if possible) her parents names, as well as the name of Peter's mother.

If anyone can connect any of the other family groups of Finnegans in Holland, I'd be doubly grateful.

Rose married Carraher, Emmett Aft 1877, Schoolcraft, Madison, Nebraska, USA. Emmett died Yes, date unknown. [Group Sheet]
