Surnames: Rooney, Sullivan, Foley, Breen
Seeking information on James W. Rooney who lived in Tecumseh per the obit of his brother William in 1936. Also listed was a brother John of Lincoln. William Rooney son of Thomas Rooney and Bridget Breen was born in Wakefield, England and married my grandmothers half sister Mary Sullivan in Lancaster County about July 30, 1889. Am interested in any information on the Rooney's but especially William and Mary Sullivan Rooney's children.

My name is Tom Burns and my grandfather was James W. Rooney, brother of William and John. What kind of information is it that you are looking for? My aunt who was a nun in Texas has done a lot of research on the Rooney and Donahue families. I would be happy to share any information with you.

Wow my original message was from 2001. Thank you for answering. Actually, I have gotten away from working with this family as I got a lot of info from Charles F. Reed from Denver Co. I assume that you are aware of them. As I remember they are part of the Mary Rooney that married Robert Tschesch. I know part of their info is incorrect however as it applies to William Rooney's wife Mary Sullivan. I suggested that they change the info on the rootsweb family sheet but they have not done so.

I am active in Lancaster Co on the website etc and some time ago I got an e-mail from a lady in Denver and she had William Rooney's naturalization record. It really is not part of my family and if you would like it I will gladly send it to you. I am going to try to attach a copy. Let me know if you want the original.

Yes I would be interested in a copy of William Rooney's naturalization record. I don't need the original unless you do not want to keep it or send it to some of his relatives in Colorado. Robert Tscheschke's wife was Kate Rooney. She was a daughter of William. They moved to Colorado, as well as William Rooney and the rest of his family. I am still in contact with some of the Tscheschke family. I do not know the name Charles R. Reed. He may be married to one of Willam's descendants. I know that some of his sons lived in Denver and had kept in contact with my mother, who was a first cousin to them. Here is my email address if you would like to contact me directly, tburns619@windstream.net. I live just south of Lincoln. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Tom
