Dear Al,
Here is the tree of Michael Rooney and Johanna O'Connel(l) who settled in
Twin Elm, Ontario. The parents of Michael were Daniel Rooney and his first
wife Catherine. I'm not sure if Daniel ever came to Canada himself. However,
Michael's half -brother Bernard married to Sarah McCarthy settled in Fallowfield
just about where St. Patrick's Church is now. This info is taken from the tree
made at the time of the Rooney (Michael and Johannna) Reunion in 1995.
Many of these people will be buried at St. Patrick, Fallowfield, Nepean, Ontario
even when not listed as such.

My name is Kathleen Anne Herd (nee Rooney), found the family tree listed when
playing around on the net ... my cousins and I were the organizers of the reunion
held in Fallowfield in 95 and I was raised on the family farm in Twin Elm Ontario.
Would be interested in figuring out how and if we are related.
Let me know if you are still looking for info.
