I am looking for descendants of Patrick Hallihan who was born In Waterford on 4/3/1818 to Patrick and Johanna (Keefe). Patrick relocated to the USA and settled in Massachusetts. He died on 1/25/1916 at the age of 97. My husband Timothy is his great, great, great grandson. We are going to plan a trip to Ireland in 2020 and would love to meet up with any of my Husband's relatives. Would love to see where his relatives were born, lived and cemeteries where they are buried. I would appreciate any help in locating them.

Dear Paullette:
Thank you for your query to the Ireland Reaching Out message board.
If you have any further information about Patrick Hallinan such as siblings names, etc that would be helpful. I cannot find a church baptism reference on Roots Ireland for a Patrick Hallinan and Johanna Keeffe family in County Waterford but there are a number of registers that are not transcribed. s.
I do note from the Tithe Applotment Books that the surnames of O'Keefe and Hallinan were both in the parish of Sheskinane or Seskinane. This may be a good place to start.
The Catholic parish registers are noted as being Touraneena, Waterford and Lismore (Dioceses). They are available to view online at this link: https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/1121 You will note that the reigsters begin in 1852 for both baptisms and marriages.
If you have further information, please post it on this thread below.
Kind regards,
Jane
