Seeking a Listowel Connection
A request for help from Tom Gould in the US…
Hello Mary!
I hope you may be able to point me in the right direction.
My wife , who is a Delaney, had a grandfather born in 1895 in Listowel
by the name of Jeremiah Brandon. He left for the US , we believe,
somewhere between 1912-1918 ( ? ) and ended up in the New York/New
Jersey area/ He died July 1958.
We are making a trek to Ireland in July 2024 . My wife Noreen would
love to find to see if there are any relatives of Jeremiah still in
the area of Listowel.
If you have any great thoughts , or can point me in the direction of
any databases that may help us track down any relatives, we will be
most grateful.
Thanks.

A Fact
Fleas can jump more than 200 times their body length and can accelerate 50 times faster than a space shuttle.
(I waited until after our French travels were over for that one.)
