I'm trying to locate any information on the Walsh's/Egan's from Lisdowney Parish.
My GG Uncle Martin James Walsh wrote down information on where his family had immigrated from in Ireland.

"Father lived for years about 1 mile from Lisdowney where we all had to attend mass on Sundays. It was about 4 miles to Johnstown, 2 miles from Freshford and 3 miles from Balaragit."
"Should you ever visit Ireland you make application to the parish priest who lives Lisdowney and get the baptismal record if it is still extant. There you will find the names of all of the family from which you can get the ages. "
The Walsh family arrived in New York City 1 May 1849 on the Bark AbbeyLand.
The settled in Buffalo, Marquette,Wisconsin, then Montello, Marquette, Wisconsin

Nancy Eagon had a :
- brother named Michael who settled in Waupenger Creek, New York
- sister who married a Kelly who settled in New York City - had 2 boys & 2 girls.
Nancy Eagon Walsh raised one of the Kelly girls
- sister who married a Delaney who settled in Milwaukee, Wisc - had 3 boys & 2 girls.
- her mother's maiden name was Fitzgerald/Fitzjerrald (my GG Uncle didn't spell well)

Ether Nancy or Michael had a brother Oliver, he had 7 boys- they left Ireland before 1849 and settled in Nova Scotia. "Them and their descendents are scattered for there to California"

Thank you for any help you can provide. I don't have an international membership in Ancestry. I hope to start going to FamilyHistoryCenters and start using microfilm this summer.

I have found their last name to be spelled as Walsh, Welsh, Welch, Walch in various documents.
