My grandmother, Margaret (Maggie) Lynch emigrated from Coolkill to New York City around 1912. Her grandfather was Matthew Lynch (deceased 1905) and her father was James Lynch (deceased 1906). After James died, his 4 daughters, Mary Anne, Catherine, Maggie and Rose left Ireland. The homestead passed to a different James Lynch. Family lore says this James Lynch was a cousin. i have often wondered if we have relatives in the Coolkill area.
