Sweeney Surname     MY FATHER'S MOTHER WAS ELLA FRANCES SWEENEY (b. 14-MAY-1869). HER FATHER WAS JAMES C. SWEENEY (b.1817) in DONEGALL COUNTY IRELAND. HE MARRIED BRIDGET MARY MALLEN (b.1833) in WAKEFIELD, LANACSHIRE, ENGLAND. HER MOTHER WAS ALSO BRIDGET MARY (B. 1801) IN WAKEFIELD, ENGLAND AND DIED IN 1882. CHILDREN WITH SWEENEY SURNAME: CASS (SCHWARTZ) (b. 31-OCT-1852) JAMES (JIM) M. (b.1859) ANNA LUELLA (DEENEY) (b.20-MAY-1862) HUGH (b.5-JUL-1863) ELLA FRANCES (CAMERON) (b.14-MAY-1869) ************************** ABOUT A YEAR AGO, THANKS TO THE INTERNET, I FOUND A 2ND COUSIN. A GRANDDAUGHTER OF HUGH SWEENEY, FLORENCE QUINN, HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR YEARS FOR LOST LINKS TO HER ANCESTORS. WE BOTH EVEN HAD A COPY OF THE SAME FAMILY PICTURE. IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS TWO MORE COUSINS HAVE CONTACTED US VIA OUR WEB STIES. ONE IS THE GREAT GRANDDAUGHTER OF JIM SWEENEY AND THE OTHER IS THE GREAT GRANDDAUGHTER OF ANNA SWEENEY. TO SEE THE PICTURE OF THE SWEENEY FAMILY THAT WAS TAKEN IN 1881 PLEASE VISIT THE QUINN FAMILY WEB SITE.   IT IS JUST A "CLICK" AWAY.
