Hi all,

I'm trying to locate anyone who might have some information on my family, Foley who came from Inch. Patrick was my great grandfather and his father was Thomas O. Foley, from what I've been able to find out. Patrick was born and lived in Inch, and though I'm not sure of his exact birthdate or year as a few different places have it varying by a few years, but near 1881 to 1885 I believe. He later moved to the US where he met my great grandmother who was from the Dundalk area, Jennie Martin and my grandfather was the first one of the family to be born here in the US. So when I was a kid my grandfather had visited Ireland a few times to visit his family that he still had there and stayed in touch with. I did go with him on one of the trips and I know we visited some family members, a few were in Inch Co Kerry and they owned the Foley Pub there in Inch across the street from the cemetery, they then took us on to Cork, Dublin and visited another family member who owned the Foley Pub there in Dublin at the time, which I heard that they have now sold. Then up to Dundalk area and then back to Shannon. I'd be interested in finding out if anyone on here knows who any of the Foley's in Inch, Dingle, Cork area are who might have been around there in the mid 1980s.
