Steve, there are varients of the name Lomasney such as Lemasney or Lamasney. My families heritage goes back to the surname Lomasney or O'Lomasney and we are descendants of Co. Tipperary Ireland. During the Irish famine years, many immigrated to the U.S. My GG-grandfather came here to the U.S. and settled in upstate NY area. Lomasney is a predominate name in the Albany/Schenectady areas of NY. There are many of us Lomasneys' here. Try finding out your fathers name, his fathers name, his fathers name etc. Then post your results. You might find that the name was written down incorrectly at Ellis Island, because the name was asked of them when they got off the ship and someone else wrote it down. Many people could not read or write their names, but could only pronounce them. This may be the case.
