"Journey Genealogies: Hart, Cunningham, Hanney, Feeney, Mackey & Mahoney, a companion volume for Journey - An Irish-American Odyssey, focuses on the Irish and American descendants of the six prominently-featured families in that work. In the nineteenth century, immigration became a way of life for the Irish. While some in these six families remained in their ancestral counties of Sligo, Tipperary and Limerick, many immigrated to America, where they established new communities at Boston and Newton, Mass., New York City and Rochester, N.Y., Pittsburgh, Penn., and Chicago, Ill. Subsequent generations migrated westward in search of new and better opportunities. Over time, family connections faded from memory and for many their Irish culture and heritage was lost. The well-documented and interrelated genealogies presented in Journey Genealogies trace the descendants of the Hart, Cunningham, Hanney, Feeney, Mackey and Mahoney families from their earliest known Irish origins into the twentieth century. Within these pages are people who share a wonderfully rich Irish heritage waiting to be rediscovered." --Publisher's description.
