Well this board is lacking on posts. I am looking for the following family that moved to the US somtime between 1850 and 1870 from Ireland. This Lanahan family stayed in IL for the most part. I am not sure which city they came into when they did arrive here. In fact what you see below is exactly what I have on them, nothing more. I have documented the census records below to help make a match here. Here is the basics...
