Kathleen, I am interested in learning more of your Bresnahan family. My ancestor, John Bresnahan came to the states from Cork, Ireland in 1854 with two brothers: Timothy and Thomas. Upon arrival, Thomas was never seen or heard from again according to family tradition. We believe they arrived in New York.

My gg grandfather John was born in 1836, married Mary Twomey in Ft. Wayne, Indiana and had 10 children of whom only 6 lived. Their names were Johanna, John, Mary, Thomas, Patrick and Edward. The names are very similar to yours. John and two of his sons worked for the RR in FW. My ancestors like I said were from Cork in a small town called Kanturk.

Is there anything here you see that would indicate further research? I guess I'm hoping that the Thomas you are researching is "the" Thomas I've been looking for.

I have a John Bresnahan (dob 1818 Ireland) who married Mary Flynn. His brother's name was Morris(dob 1828 Ireland). They both had children in Indiana and then moved to Iowa. Are these of any relation to yours?

I don't think this is my relatives.
