Biography

Michael Keane was born in Ireland.

Name in records often spelled “Mikel” “Kane” or “M.C.” Keane. The middle name is unknown and all records show is C. Michael was born in Ireland. ^[1] Just when Michael immigrated to the U.S. is unknown. Multiple records exist in New York and Boston and will require further research to determine when and where he entered America. The first records we have show his marriage to Bridget Gany on 27 Oct 1856 in Hamilton County, Ohio. ^[2] when, where, and how they met is unknown. Speculation is that met through his job.

Research Notes

• Wife - Guiney, Gany, Gainey, Garney?

Married Bridget Gany (Garney, Gainey, Guiney?) in Cincinnati 27 Oct 1856. I don’t want to add her until I have more sources on the spelling of her maiden name. Her mother, also named Bridget lived next door to Michael and Bridget and ran a Boardinghouse. The husband of Bridget Garney does not appear in the records so he could have died in Ireland, Sources needed.

• John Keane?

Why did MC move to Mitchell, IN? How is he related to John Keane, brother, cousin?

• Origins

Also need to find M.C. Keane’s Family. Some sources lead to a Kerry, other Londonderry, but DNA indicates Munster, Ireland.
