May Birthdays & Anniversaries

Welcome to May's "roll call" of those who came before me ~ a listing of the birthdays and anniversaries of my Keough & Murphy ancestors who were born or married during May.  I use a cutoff year of 1900 for privacy concerns. As you can see, Ireland, Newfoundland and the United States (Missouri and  Nebraska) are represented.  Do we share any of the same ancestors? If so, I would love to hear from you and hear all about them.
