I have found that Margaret Lyons, GGM, was from Tralee. I have a death certificate of a Cornelius Lyons from Tralee who could have been her father, but no way of knowing...he would not have been the harper as he would have been too young. We know nothing about Margaret really..born around 1830, married around 1855..could have been an arranged marriage some cousins think...spoke Irish until death in early 1900s (did people know there probably were probably Irish-speaking enclaves in Iowa and probably other parts of midwest in 1800s? I sure didn't).

Anyway, guest..where are your Lyons relatives from again? mg
