Writing on behalf of my wife Carolyn, daughter of Harry M Keating of the Keating clan of Mt Morris descended from Patrick Keating (14 children) who emigrated from I believe Skiberreen sometime after 1870. Patrick was one of three sons of Kitty Keating (née Hayes) who emigrated to America.
So I am interested to know if this clan is represented in your Keating groups
It’s a long shot but my mom Mary married a fellow named Bill (Christopher) Keating back in 1961 and they divorced officially in 1967. She was living in Quincy, Ma. and I have no idea how they met (perhaps a bar) but the only info she told me about was that he had been in World War 2 and was from County Cork Ireland from a farming/rural area. He may have gone back to Ireland and he had a sister named Mary Mullins who lived in London. If someone is reading this who may know any info on Bill (William) perhaps a family member or friend please get in touch. Thank You.
Hello Keating family,
Wonderful to know I’m not alone.
My wife and I are moving to Wexford this year.
Let us know you are coming over.
Cheers
