Hi. I am the daughter or William O'Malley Henehan (name previously spelled Heneghan). William is the son of Michael Joseph Heneghan who immigrated from County Mayo (Castletown I think) to the New York in the 1920's with his sister Margaret (the "g" was dropped during processing through Ellis Island). Michael married Delia O'Malley and had three children - Margaret, William and Catherine (Cissy). William was born in 1932 and lives in New Jersey.

A note re spelling of the name; John's surname alternated between Henehan and Heneghan on various records , possibly because his first language was Irish, not English. 

My grandmother, Catherine Heneghan/Farrell, emigrated to the U.S. in 1924. I have traced her family history back to her 3rd great-grandfather, James Henehan. My grandmother was born in Lehid, Galway. I have visited my Heneghan relatives in Ireland and have maintained limited contact. I would like to expand the Heneghan branch of my family history. 

Hi, Just came across this site, i'm not a heneghan but have a few in my family tree so was searching for the name, what a cool site will def be bookmarking it and coming back soon ;-) Thanks. Peter.
