Jeremiah O’Donoghue is my wife’s grandfather who emigrated to the USA on 6/7/1913. He was born 13 February 1889 in Cahirbarnagh, Rathmore, Kerry to Daniel O’Donoghue and Johanna Keefe or O’Keefe. Jeremiah had two brothers – John and Patrick – and two sisters – Molly and Margaret – of which their American descendants know little if anything. It is believed that John & Patrick remained in Ireland, Molly moved to Hudson Falls, New York but then returned to Ireland, married Patrick Collins and died in Newmarket, County Cork – date unknown. Johanna O’Keefe had a sister Mary that emigrated to New York State about 1867. Nothing else is known of Johanne O’Keefe’s family or who Daniel O’Donoghue hails from.
