Surnames: Kivel, Kavaney, Handley
I believe that Kivel was the maiden name of my GG grandmother Mary. She was born in Ireland in 1835 (don't know where). She probably immigrated to Lawrence Co, OH with her parents in the 1840s. She married Patrick Kavaney (another recent Irish immigrant) in the mid 1850s. They had 10 children, 8 of whom were still living in 1900. Her son Michael, a coal miner, was my G Grandfather. Michael married Emma Rebecca Handley in 1883. Mary Kivel Kavaney probably died in 1903 in Wellston, Jackson Co, OH.
I think it likely that Mary Kivel's parents were John Kivel (born in Ireland ca 1816, Naturalized in Lawrence Co, OH in 1855) and Anna NMU (born in Ireland ca 1820). Their other children included Anna (born in Ireland in 1837) and Michael (born in Ireland in 1839).
I am looking for information about this family, their immigration, and origins in Ireland.
