Re: Patrick Fahey family of St. Louis

My gr grandparents were John J. Fay(Fahey) & Elizabeth Mooney.Came from Co. Kildare, Ire. to U.S. in 1874.Left 4 children behind with grandparents.Sent for them to come over in 1878.Settled in Springfield, Ill. area.Had three more children before Elizabeth died.It is family lknowledge that John had two brothers in St. Louis, Mo.We do not know their names.I had been told our family was also from Cork.When I investigated further, they had left Ireland on the ship from Cork -- so that was the place they talked of leaving, but they were actually from Kildare.Hope this might help.If any info connects, please let me know.
