Descendants of Daniel FLANNERY
and Maggie Hardigan

Daniel Flannery was born and lived in Ireland in the early 1800's. Some reports have his family name as originally being O'Flannery.

Through DNA testing this line belongs to the Munster Flannerys. 
At the 25-markers level (which is a very good guide), it was a perfect 25/25 match with the Flannerys from Abington (County Limerick), Fethard (County Tipperary) and Ballynakill (County Galway) - all areas just around the perimeter of Lough Derg. 
At the 37-markers level (which is great for searching inside the group to differentiate between individual families and branches within families), the best match is 35/37 with the Flannerys from Abingdon (County Limerick). 
This family probably hails from the Lough Derg region (if you are in a boat on Lough Derg you can see four counties around you: 
Limerick, Clare, Galway and Tipperary). 
The best match hails from the civil parish of Abington in County Limerick (not far from the Tipperary border) and this family was evicted during the Great Famine and settled in Rearcross in County Tipperary.

This family history site is of Daniel Flannery and his descendants. Daniel Flannery came to America to escape the potato famine in the mid 1800's.
The earliest record found so far of their children in America is of son Daniel's marriage in Plainville, Ohio in 1856. Later records show them in Wisconsin and Missouri. Some of the known sons worked for the railroad.

In the early 1900's many of the descendants dropped one 'n' and going by Flanery. Some of the family can be found in different records with either spelling. Most went by "Flanery" by the mid 1900's.

As long as we are not forgotten
We are not completely gone!

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back
The sunshine warm upon your face.
The rain fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
