Over time, I’ve posted multiple stories that are obviously about members of the same family, sometimes spanning several generations. I try to give each family a name, usually based on their location in most of the stories. Note that not all of these families are actually related to me, I just happened to notice family groups as I’ve gone along.
As I find these groupings, I’ll add them here. If in my own database (as many Maryland Keatings are), I’ll add the public version of the family tree as well.
- Bridgeport Connecticut Keatings
- Centreville Maryland Keatings | Family Tree
- Cumberland Maryland Keatings | Family Tree
- This family shares a lot of the same names and occasionally even lived in Frostburg, but are not related to me.
- Elyria Ohio Keatings
- I started out thinking this family was not related to me, but it turns out that they are, as descendants of my immigrant ancestor’s brother. (Family tree forthcoming…)
- Finzel Maryland Catons | Family Tree
- Another family local to Frostburg, but use the Caton spelling.
- Frostburg Maryland Keatings | Family Tree
- My family!
- Lonaconing Maryland Keatings | Family Tree
- Another local family that shares a lot of the same names.
- Texas Maryland Keatings | Family Tree
- Philadelphia Keatings

Phillip Popp was my g. g. grandfather. Do you have any pictures of him or Doreatha, or any of their children? I have pictures of Lewis, his wife, and their 4 sons. Charles was my grandfather.
I am trying to find a copy of Mary Keating Gerguric’s Keating Genealogy, c 1980. Anyone know this document or her work? Mart’s obit is online, so she is dead. Thank you
Keating family from Mitchelstown, Condons & Clangibbon, Brigown, Co Cork, IRL;
Paddy Finnigan in Ireland (Apr 1973 ( told us that Robt. E. Keating’s father was a Draper (Clothing Store) in Mitchelstown, Co.Cork, Mary was working there and that is how she met Rob. Drapers (Clothes, shoes, dry goods, were a clothing business).Robert was a bookkeeper by trade, the family lived in town, not on a farm. MARR: Sponsors at their wedding were Michael & Hanora Gorman. His wife was Mary Frances Gorman (O’Gorman).They came first to Newark, Essex, New Jersey, then on to Chicago, IL.
Looking for information on of Patrick George Keatinge born 1830 in Ennis Clare Ireland. He married Jane McGivney on November 16, 1851, in Canada. They had five children in 17 years. He died in June 1902 in Sculcoates, Yorkshire, England, at the age of 72. He was my 2x great grandfather and I’ve hit a brick wall on who his parents were.
Thank you
Still after Thomas Keating b1825/6 in Tipperary… Father is John Keating b c1792, Tipperary County.Possibly married to Catherine Welch (or West)
This is John Keating (b. 1847) from Macreary, Carrick-on-Suir area Co. Tipperary. His father was Thomas Keating and his mother Ellen Power. Thomas may have had a brother named Geoffrey who was John’s baptismal sponsor along with Catherine Feehan. https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZncSAxf6T1ph3JLy7
Hi looking for any relatives of the Baldwinstown Keating’s in Wexford. I think they were later silk merchants in Dublin
Michael,
I’m not aware of a Baldwinstown link (although I won’t discount the possibility), but my Keatings were said to have been in the textile trade in Dublin in the early-mid 1800s. A letter written by a daughter of my immigrant Keating (John Charles Keating) mentions his father, “Patrick Keating was born in Dublin, Ireland, died at the age of fifty years. He was a merchant by trade, wool, hides and so on.”
Before immigrating in 1854, John had moved to Ballymore Eustace (Co. Dublin at the time, but now Co. Kildare) and worked in the mill there. John married a Hyland girl in Ballymore Eustace, whose family was described as “Originally […] from Scotland and settled in the city of Dublin. They claim three generations of merchants. Andrew was a merchant, his father’s trade. “Mens cloth and suits” called “Cassimere”.”
Tell me more of your Keatings. Any chance you’ve taken a DNA test (either autosomal (Ancestry/23andMe/etc.) or Y-DNA (FTDNA)?)
John
Hi John thanks for all that information. Yes I’ve taken a DNA test on ancestry if you wish to check it. I am trying to confirm if we are descendants of the Baldwinstown Keating’s. They were disposed from their lands in the 1600s by Cromwell and John,Morish and Laurence Keating were Transplanted to Connaught close to where I live(Beagh Galway). Records show a Laurence Keating farming in Beagh in 1680. There are still Keatings in Beagh and they look the same as my father and uncles so we are going to do a Y DNA test. Would like to do the same with possible other Baldwinstown Keating’s. My Grandfather s name was Laurence Keating.
