My great grandfather, John Keresey, was born in Lismore/County of Waterford on August 15, 1844. He emigrated to the US on December 31, 1848. That information is from his passport application I found online. I would like to find more about his ancestors. I don't know what his parents' names were, his siblings, etc. I am assuming he was Catholic.
Can anyone find any information about my Keresey ancestors?

Thanks, but no, my ancestor was 4 years old when he emigrated.
