Margaret Burns Wilhauk (Great-Granddaughter of Edward "Ned" and Bridget Dunn Ryan) visited Ireland several times, and dedicated a portion of her trips to family research, most specifically in Mullinahone, Tipperary where both of her Great-Grandparents were born and their families lived.


On her trip to Ireland

“I had the pleasure of visiting Ireland two years in a row researching both the Dunn and Ryan Families.

I must say the parish priest at St. Michaels in Mullinahone couldn’t have been more helpful. He pulled out the old registers and let me see the pages where my great-great Ryan grandparents (Dennis & Ellen Mullaly Ryan) marriage records were entered and also the baptisms of their children. I learned that my great grandfather's name wasn't Edward Ryan as we had thought but was actually Edmund. They left Ireland ca. 1847 and I was the first of their descendants to go back to Mullinahone and Killahy, Ireland. He (the priest) then took us to the right cemetery. signed, Marge Wilhauk”

Dunn Family records transcribed from the Parish Book for St. Michael's Catholic Church, Mullinahone, Tipperary, Ireland:


TIMOTHY & MARGARET RYAN DUNN FAMILY

  • Marriage Record: 7 February 1837 - Timothy Dunn & Margaret Ryan - Witnesses: Patrick Cahill & Norry Mansfield


  • Baptism Records:
  • 5 March 1838 - Mary Dunn - Sponsors: William O'Brien & Bridget Dunn
  • 17 October 1839 - Lawrence Dunn - Sponsors - John Dunn & Mary Ryan
  • 20 October 1841 - Timothy Dunn - Sponsors - Patrick & Catherine Ryan

  • 2 June 1847 - Bridget Dunn - Born this date to Timothy and Margaret Ryan Dunn, but no record of her birth was entered in St. Michael's Parish Book. It is possible that they were already started on their long immigration to the U.S.A. (where they would arrive New Orleans, Louisiana on 8 Dec 1848)

    Many thanks to Margaret (Marge) Wilhauk for sharing the memories of her trips and the findings of her family research in Mullinahone, Tipperary, Ireland.
