The genealogy of my GGF Michael Byrne/Burns says that there were McDonalds and O'Neils were amongst his "relatives" (in-laws?) though I haven't found them. He was born to Michael Byrne who operated as a blacksmith at Pounds Cross, Tankardstown Townland, Laoighis, Diocese of "Laughlan" (Leighlin?), and was born to James Byrne. Michael, Jr's baptismal records were at St. Michael's Church in Athy. His mother was a Fitzpatrick and her mother was a Delaney.

My Great Grandfather Thomas Augustine McDonald (B. 24 Aug. 1862) was born in Athy Ireland. He married Mary C. Whelan (b. 23 Dec. 1866) in Athy. The couple left Ireland in 1906 eventually establishing a permanent residence in Washngton D.C. USA. My wife and I will be visiting Ireland 5 June 2018 staying 2 nights in Dublin at the Holiday Inn Express. I am curious about any relatives I might have in Ireland. My name is Anthony Kevin McDonald III b. 6 June 1949 in Washington DC. I can be reached via e-mail at tmcd3rd@gmail.com I would welcome any advice or information regarding your beautiful land.
