Every wiki page cites a verbatim source file in ../raw/. This page lists them.

Family-supplied primary material (McKenna)

• raw/Family History 1.docx — the original Word document supplied by the family, written by Donald James McKenna (b. 1953).
• raw/family-history-donald-mckenna-1953.md — verbatim markdown extract of the genealogical portion, plus notes on the three claims that are family oral tradition rather than documented fact (the 1798 Wexford story, the "English Captain" gloss on Jane Foulkes's father, the Model Farm tenancy at South Cappra). The document independently confirms Jane Foulkes's death date (7 December 1840) already held from Geneanet, and adds a previously unrecorded intermediate generation — Thomas McKenna (d. 16 Jan 1870) m. Annie Thorton (d. 3 May 1895) — plus the Thurles → Foynes migration step. The document uses American MM/DD/YYYY date format throughout.
• raw/kerry-gravestones-photos.md — descriptions of six Ireland-visit photographs. The two genealogically-useful photos are 104-0488_IMG.JPG (Elizabeth McKenna + siblings headstone at South Cappa, Foynes) and 104-0489_IMG.JPG / 104-0490_IMG.JPG (Jane Agnes McKenna, foundress of St Ita's College Tarbert). The other three (104-0461, 104-0482, 104-0495) are unlabelled site photographs.
• raw/philip-j-mckenna-ii-interview-sibling-extract-2026-05.md — working extract from the user-supplied Philip Joseph McKenna II interview transcript and audio. Supplies the full 11-child sibling set for Philip Joseph McKenna I + Joanna E. Richardson now shown on the family tree.
• raw/philip-j-mckenna-ii-first-confession-transcript-2026-05.md — May 2026 transcript note for the user-supplied Philip Joseph McKenna II "My first confession" audio. The recording begins with Philip II reading Frank O'Connor's published story, then preserves his own memory of St. Vincent's school/church in Chicago, Clarence Kelly, Father Divine/Devine, Lincoln Park, and the family's move to Rogers Park.
• raw/philip-joanna-mckenna-children-online-verification-2026-05.md — May 9 2026 online verification pass through Philip Joseph McKenna I + Joanna E. Richardson's children. Uses public FamilySearch profiles and NARA's 1950 Census image/API to verify dates and child counts where exposed; flags the unresolved conflict that FamilySearch lists 10 children, omits transcript children Raymond and Marion, and adds Myrtle McKenna (b. 1909).
• raw/familysearch-patrick-mckenna-kj5z-nzj-2026-05.md — processed note for the saved FamilySearch profile of Patrick McKenna (1799/1800-1865), ID KJ5Z-NZJ. Names parents Thomas McKenna + Jane Foulkes, spouse Sarah M. Stack, marriage in Ireland in 1832, and ten children. High-value online-tree source for the Michigan/Negaunee line, but not a primary parish marriage record.
• raw/findagrave-patrick-mckenna-52751193-2026-05.md — user-pasted Find a Grave memorial for Patrick McKenna (1802-1865), memorial 52751193, Negaunee Cemetery, Block 3 Lot 402.

The note distinguishes school context from proof of Philip Joseph McKenna I's attendance.
• raw/mounttrenchard-deep-search-property-chain-2026-05-24.md — 24 May 2026 deep-search note.

• raw/ballyhahill-church-civil-marriage-confirmation-2026-05-25.md — 25 May 2026 civil-marriage search for exact church evidence. The target-family proof is Thomas McKenna / M'Kenna of Cappa, son of James M'Kenna, marrying Joanna Cummane on 22 February 1891 in the Roman Catholic Chapel of Ballyhill / Ballyhahill. This confirms a Ballyhahill chapel association within the Loughill / Ballyhahill Catholic parish and identifies the present-day church as Our Lady of the Visitation, Ballyhahill.
• raw/mounttrenchard-south-cappa-mckenna-records-2026-05-25.md — 25 May 2026 deep official-record pass for the South Cappa / Mounttrenchard McKenna household.

High-resolution pages checked for Thomas McKenna about 1860, Philip Joseph McKenna in 1862/1863, Edward / Edmond McKenna about 1873, and the James McKenna + Margaret Sheahan marriage window.

Captures the archive series breakdown (D1421/1/68 being the 1749–1790 box containing 1772 rental material), the 1723 Upton/Blayney split of Muckno parish, the 1838 Templetown rental schedule, and cross-references to D2433 Caledon papers and Templetown (D971, D988, D/585/60) records.

Research log

• raw/research-notes-thomas-mckenna-castleblayney.md — records search for Thomas McKenna (b. 1772, Castleblaney). Tithe Applotment hits, RC parish register dates, PRONI D1421 description, and the Livingstone 1772 rent-book reference.
• raw/castleshane-clontibret-records-thomas-mckenna-2026-05.md — May 2026 Castleshane / Clontibret pivot. Preserves the National Archives Tithe Applotment search result showing two 1830 entries for Thos Mckenna in Clontibret parish: Greenmount and Tullacomusky / Tullycumasky. Saves the two page scans and compares them against the Clontibret Griffith's transcript, where no Thomas McKenna persists by the valuation horizon.
• raw/donagh-old-leslie-clogher-wills-proof-pass-2026-05.md — May 13 2026 three-lane proof pass after Old Errigal: Donagh Old/Kabristan full inscriptions, Leslie estate papers for Doagheys / Donagh / Glaslough tenancy, and PRONI Name Search pre-1858 Clogher wills/admons. Headline: Kabristan is only an abbreviated index; NLI MS 13,719 / MS 5783 / MS 5809 are the prime Leslie rental targets; PRONI returns useful McKenna/McCana will-index clues but the target-era Clogher diocesan originals do not survive.
• raw/foulkes-deep-search-2026-04.md — hard deep-search pass (April 2026) on the Foulkes line. Confirms the 1816 Shrewsbury burial short-path is paywalled (Findmypast Shropshire Burials, Ancestry Shropshire 1813–1900) not unobtainable; pins St Chad's new church (1792–) as the most probable burial parish. Cleanly rules OUT Foulkesmill (Co Wexford, named for the 15th-c. knight Sir Foulkes Furlong — no Foulkes residents in Bassett's 1885 directory) and Foulksrath Castle (Co Kilkenny, later Swifte family) as Foulkes-family seats. Identifies georgianarmyofficers.org (British Army Officers, 1790–1830, ~40,000 records) as the canonical route to test the family-oral "captain of the Yeos" claim. Notes the Peter-Terren-Geneanet (Welsh-border) identification of Jane's family and Richard Roche's 1998 (Tipperary / Cromwellian-Clonmel) identification as two competing attributions of the same woman, not yet reconciled. Records the discrepancy between Roche's four children (Thomas, Edmond, James, Mary) and Geneanet's one (James).
• raw/foulkes-deep-search-iteration-2-2026-04.md — follow-up iteration (April 2026) pursuing angles not covered in the first pass. Surfaces a 1684 burial at St Chad's Shrewsbury of Elinor, wife of Thomas Foulke — establishing Foulkes-family presence in Shrewsbury 132 years before our Thomas's death there. Finds Thomas Foulkes admitted to Shrewsbury School in 1810 (possible son or grandson). Delivers three strong negatives: no "Foulkes" officer in the British Army Lists of January 1816 or January 1817, none in the Royal Kalendar 1819, and none among the named Shropshire Yeomanry officers 1795–1828 on the Shropshire Regimental Museum record. Together those nulls rule out a regular-Army captaincy for Thomas and push the live "Captain of the Yeos" routes back onto the Irish Yeomanry muster rolls (PRONI) and the Shropshire Yeomanry Album (TNA).
• raw/jane-foulkes-liverpool-st-peter-baptism-1778-2026-05.md — May 2026 user-supplied exact-date St Peter, Liverpool baptism candidate: Jane Foulkes, daughter of Thomas Foulkes, born 11 Feb 1778 and baptized 22 Feb 1778; abode Argyle Street; father noted as shipwright. Independently corroborated in LAN-OPC's Liverpool St Peter baptism transcript, page 13 entry 33. Useful Jane-specific baptism candidate, but not proof because Liverpool is not confirmed for Thomas McKenna's wife, it conflicts with the inherited "Wales" birthplace, and it does not name the mother.
• raw/mary-foulkes-llanrhos-baptism-1781-2026-05.md — May 2026 user-supplied Llanrhos / St Hilary baptism candidate: Mary Foulkes, daughter of Thomas + Anne Foulkes, baptized 25 Dec 1781. Correlated with a public St Hilary marriage-index entry for Thomas Foulkes of Llanrhos + Anne Thomas, 31 Jul 1780. Strong north-Wales family-cluster lead for Jane Foulkes, but not proof because Jane's reported 11 Feb 1778 birth predates the 1780 marriage.
• raw/thomas-foulkes-anne-lloyd-st-chad-marriage-1748-2026-05.md — May 2026 user-supplied St Chad, Shrewsbury marriage candidate: Thos. Foulkes + Anne Lloyd, 28 Apr 1748, by licence. High-value name/place match but chronologically ambiguous: could be Jane Foulkes's parents with the current age estimates wrong, or a grandparent-level Foulkes-Lloyd couple. The licence allegation / bond is the next decision record.
• raw/fowke-foulkes-ormathwaite-connection-hypothesis-2026-05-27.md — 27-28 May 2026 bridge hypothesis prompted by the Benn-Walsh landlord trail. Headline: the Walsh surname came into the Benn family through Margaret Benn, nee Fowke, under John Walsh's will, while Jane Foulkes has Welsh/Welsh-border and Liverpool leads. The named Boughrood Jane Fowke is now a negative person-level match, and BL D546 is weaker after the handlist/reply check; TCD/Kerry/NLW estate papers remain the stronger archive route.
• raw/evidence/ballyduhig-ormathwaite-estate-place-proof-2026-06-01.md — 1 June 2026 focused proof note for the definite Ormathwaite/Benn-Walsh estate-place connection. Headline: Landed Estates places Benn-Walsh/Lord Ormathwaite in Kilshenane at Griffith's Valuation, Griffith places Thomas Ginna at Ballyduhig plot 10 under Sir John Walsh, Bart., and the saved Benn-Walsh journals repeatedly place Kenagh/Kenna in Ballyduhig's estate-division context. This is a real landlord-world connection, not a Jane Foulkes father or D546/Boughrood blood bridge.
• raw/evidence/d546-ormathwaite-boughrood-fowkes-goal-status-2026-06-01.md — 1 June 2026 recreated-goal status note. Headline: no direct D546/Boughrood blood or father bridge to Jane Foulkes McKenna is proved; the definite link is an Ormathwaite/Benn-Walsh estate-place connection to Ballyduhig/Kilshenane, while Boughrood Jane Fowke is an adverse person-level match and Irish Yeomanry/original probate-settlement records remain the best next tests.
• raw/evidence/brewood-munster-fowke-foulkes-network-status-2026-06-01.md — 1 June 2026 older Brewood/Munster network status note. Headline: saved Brewood/Gouston/Gunston and Youghal/Clonmel/Shanrahan/Tallow evidence makes a plausible older-family network bridge to investigate, but no saved source names Jane/Mary Foulkes McKenna, Thomas McKenna, Ballyduhig/Kilshenane, or a target father.
• raw/evidence/archive-request-queue-nli-armagh-yeomanry-fisher-fowke-2026-06-01.md — 1 June 2026 consolidated archive request queue for NLI/Armagh/Listowel/Feale yeomanry records, Fisher GO MS 143 / GO MS 144, and NLI GO MS 45. It turns the remaining source routes into item-level asks and proof tests; no target bridge is read from it.
• raw/evidence/virtualtreasury-local-collocation-audit-2026-06-01.md — 1 June 2026 local audit of saved Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland searches after the evidence move. Exact target searches and broad two-term collocations do not produce a Jane/Mary Fowke/Foulkes-to-Thomas McKenna bridge; the useful value is false-positive and same-volume control.
• raw/evidence/irishdeedsindex-local-bridge-audit-2026-06-01.md — 1 June 2026 local audit of saved IrishDeedsIndex two-family, variant, and body-transcription searches. The visible deed-index layer has no Fowke/Foulke/Foulkes-to-McKenna/Kenna/Gna bridge; older Youghal/Wicklow/Clare/Cork/Tallow controls remain context only.
• raw/evidence/kerry-fookes-foukes-folue-local-control-status-2026-06-01.md — 1 June 2026 Kerry local-surname control synthesis. Official IrishGenealogy/NAI saved records prove a real Kerry Fookes/Foukes/Fulkes/Folue/Foulue cluster, but exact Jane/Thomas and Mary/Mary Jane/Maria + Thomas McKenna searches do not produce a target wife, father, D546, Boughrood, or Ormathwaite bridge.
• raw/evidence/d546-green-officer-list-route-recheck-2026-05-31.md — 31 May 2026 route recheck for D546, NLW Green/Boughrood papers, and the 1797 Irish district-corps officer list. It identifies NLW GB 0210 EIHAGREEN/1, VTLS 003844092, as the best source-route target for testing whether the Francis Fowke daughter Jane / Robert Roberts attribution is primary or compiled; no file contents were read and no McKenna bridge was found.
• raw/evidence/nlw-eihagreen-file1-fowkes-boughrood-web-open-2026-05-31.md — 31 May 2026 web-open note for NLW GB 0210 EIHAGREEN/1, File 1 of the Eileen and Harry Green Papers. The exposed catalogue layer describes research papers for The Fowkes of Boughrood Castle, including transcripts, original correspondence, documents dated 1831-1918, and mostly 1830s Fowke family letters; source-route evidence only.
• raw/evidence/coflein-green-fowkes-boughrood-booklet-6069737.html — saved Coflein / RCAHMW archive record 6069737 for Eileen and Harry Green's 1973 booklet The Fowkes of Boughrood Castle, a study in social mobility. Confirms a separate catalogue route to the Green booklet; no Jane/Mary McKenna proof.
• raw/evidence/francis-fowke-settlement-release-route-status-2026-06-01.md — 1 June 2026 settlement/release route status note for the Francis Fowke will-cut-out test. It consolidates Powys B/D/JPO/21/3, TNA C 13/980/34 Bell v Walsh, and Herefordshire/TNA A95/ET/146 as concrete original-record targets for testing omission, prior provision, or exclusion; no Jane/Mary McKenna bridge appears in the accessible catalogue layer.
• raw/evidence/powys-jeffreys-powell-solicitors-b-d-jpo-1.pdf and raw/evidence/powys-jeffreys-powell-solicitors-b-d-jpo-1.txt — saved Powys Archives / Jeffreys and Powell solicitors catalogue and text extraction. The key item is B/D/JPO/21/3, George Games and Eliza Fowke's 1834 marriage settlement, which recites Eliza's entitlement under the wills of Francis Fowke senior and junior; not Jane/McKenna proof.
• raw/evidence/tna-c-13-980-34-bell-v-walsh-details.json and raw/evidence/tna-discovery-c13-980-34-bell-v-walsh-2026-05-30.html — saved TNA Discovery details and page for C 13/980/34, Bell v Walsh, an 1832 Chancery bill and answer in the Boughrood/Walsh/Fowke estate-dispute lane. Open but not digitised; catalogue-level route only.
• raw/evidence/tna-herefordshire-a95-et-146-williams-mary-fowke-release-details.json — saved TNA/A2A details for Herefordshire Archive A95/ET/146, a draft release and indemnity involving Rev. D. Williams and Mary his wife under Francis Fowke will trusts. This is a Mary Fowke/Williams trust-route target, not evidence that Mary was Thomas McKenna's wife.
• raw/evidence/francis-fowke-prob-11-preview-second-visual-pass-2026-05-31.md — 31 May 2026 second visual pass through saved TNA public-preview images for Francis Fowke senior, PROB 11/1623/139, and Francis Fowke junior of Boughrood, PROB 11/1713/59. Headline: the previews are adverse to a simple Francis-Fowke-to-Jane-McKenna merge because they visibly align with the Mary-Lowe/natural-child and known Boughrood heir frameworks and do not surface Jane/Mary-as-wife/McKenna/Roberts/Carmarthen target names; not a final legal exclusion because only watermarked previews were read.
• raw/evidence/royalcollection-rcin-735077b-wimbledon-captain-fowke-iiif-proof-2026-06-01.md — 1 June 2026 Royal Collection / IIIF proof note for RCIN 735077.b, Henry Smith's 1799 Wimbledon Common review plan. The saved crop reads 7. WIMBLEDON ... Capt Fra.s Fowke, confirming the Francis/Wimbledon volunteer-cavalry captain-control line from a primary image. It does not prove Jane/Mary Fowke/Foulkes McKenna's father.
• raw/evidence/rmg-fowke-naval-family-papers-control-2026-06-01.md — 1 June 2026 Royal Museums Greenwich Fowke naval-family catalogue check. It confirms a real naval Fowke control lane behind the family-memory "English fleet" wording, but George Fowke is too young to father the target Jane and the catalogue names no Jane/Mary/Thomas McKenna bridge.
• raw/evidence/georgianarmyofficers-regular-army-foulkes-fowke-mckenna-pass-2026-06-01.md — 1 June 2026 Georgian Army Officers / DHI regular-army API check. It finds Foulkes/Fowke/M'Kenna control officers but no Thomas Foulkes father candidate, Thomas McKenna bridge, or Jane/Mary/Kerry/D546 marker; Irish militia and yeomanry records still need separate testing.
• raw/evidence/googlebooks-war-office-militia-yeomanry-foulkes-control-pass-2026-06-01.md — 1 June 2026 open Google Books / Play Books pass through 1797, 1809, 1820, and 1825 War Office militia and yeomanry list controls. Finds Thomas Foulkes as a 1797 Denbighshire Militia lieutenant, not captain; John Powell Foulkes carries the Denbighshire captain/major/lieutenant-colonel line; John Foulkes of Wexford and Edm. Pierce M'Kenna of Kilkenny are controls only; no Jane/Mary/Thomas McKenna/D546 bridge.
• raw/evidence/familysearch-armagh-yeomanry-1797-1825-access-route-2026-06-01.md — 1 June 2026 FamilySearch/Armagh access-route pass for the unread 1797 Irish district-corps alphabetical index and later 1804/1820/1825 officer lists. It identifies DGS 7242463, Film 1279329 Item 25, adds the Armagh County Museum research enquiry route, and saves the related 1798 Folger/Gale/Google corps-precedence list route; no officer names were read and no bridge was found.
• raw/evidence/nli-1797-district-corps-call-number-refresh-2026-06-01.md — 1 June 2026 NLI call-number refresh for the 1797 Dublin Castle district-corps officer list. It preserves direct NLI request routes J.355942.ARM/1787, LO 14596, LO 1586, and P 91; no officer names were read.
• raw/evidence/current-web-1797-district-corps-access-recheck-2026-06-01.md and raw/evidence/bl-service-list-army-navy-guide-access-note.md — 1 June 2026 current web recheck and BL service-list access note for the 1797 Dublin Castle district-corps officer-list route. No readable officer text surfaced and no bridge was found; the useful addition is a stronger British Library service-list-guide route for probable shelfmark BS.45/147, supported by a saved public-library link to the old BL PDF URL but still needing BL staff/current-catalogue confirmation before formal citation.
• raw/Foulkes family, of Eriviat - National Library of Wales Archives and Manuscripts.html — preserved National Library of Wales authority page for the Foulkes/Ffoulkes family of Eriviat. Identifies John Powell Ffoulkes (1770-1826) in the Eriviat descent, making him a Denbighshire captain-control figure but too young to be Jane Foulkes McKenna's father.
• raw/boughrood-jane-fowke-test-2026-05-28.md — 28 May 2026 test of the Boughrood / Francis Fowke daughter named Jane against Jane Foulkes McKenna, updated 1 June 2026. Verdict: not a person-level match on current evidence because father, surname form, geography, and the Carmarthen Robert Roberts spouse/child-household lane conflict with the exact-date Liverpool Jane Foulkes baptism and the Thomas McKenna wife tradition; keep the wider Fowke / Ormathwaite archive route open.
• raw/evidence/carmarthen-robert-roberts-jane-mary-roberts-conflict-2026-06-01.md — 1 June 2026 consolidated Carmarthen adverse-lane note. The FreeREG transcript confirms Robert Roberts + Jane Foulkes at St Peter, Carmarthen, on 21 Jan 1826; Bell compiled pages assign that Jane to Francis Fowke of Boughrood; Llangunnor baptisms and an 1843 Welsh Newspapers death notice support a continuing Robert/Jane Roberts household. Strong adverse evidence, not a final disproof of every D546/Fowke/Foulkes connection.
• raw/evidence/carmarthen-robert-roberts-linen-draper-1831-control-2026-06-01.md — 1 June 2026 saved Welsh Newspapers / NLW IIIF control for a 29 July 1831 Carmarthen Journal assizes report identifying Robert Roberts as a Carmarthen linen-draper with a shop. This supports the Roberts trade-household lane between the 1828/1831 baptisms and the 1843 Jane Mary Roberts death notice, but does not prove Jane Foulkes's parentage.
• raw/evidence/carmarthen-st-peter-1826-marriage-original-register-access-route-2026-06-01.md — 1 June 2026 access-route note for the original St Peter, Carmarthen marriage entry behind the Robert Roberts + Jane Foulkes transcript. It identifies Findmypast/FamilySearch as the online image/index route and Carmarthenshire Archives as the local parish-register route; no original image was viewed yet, so this is a request route rather than parentage proof.
• raw/evidence/freereg-llangunnor-st-ceinwr-jane-mary-roberts-baptism-1828.html and raw/evidence/freereg-llangunnor-st-ceinwr-robert-brian-roberts-baptism-1831.html — saved FreeREG transcript pages for the Llangunnor St Ceinwr baptisms of Jane Mary Roberts, 14 Dec 1828, and Robert Brian Roberts, 10 Jan 1831, children of Robert and Jane Roberts of Carmarthen. Robert is shopkeeper in 1828 and draper in 1831. Definite Carmarthen household controls; transcripts, not register images.
• raw/evidence/current-web-mary-jane-father-recheck-2026-06-01.md — 1 June 2026 Mary/Jane/Fowke/Foulkes recheck after the evidence move from the wrong project. No new father bridge surfaced; Mary remains a search variant and daughter-line guardrail, while Thomas Foulkes and Anne remain candidate/report lanes rather than proved parents.
• raw/bl-mss-eur-d546-foulkes-variant-search-2026-05-27.md — 27-28 May 2026 British Library catalogue / reference-team pass for Mss Eur D546. Foulkes, Ffoulkes, Foulke, Fooks, and Foulks return no public metadata hits; Fowke returns the correct 19-volume Fowke/Benn/Walsh/Maskelyne correspondence collection. The BL Reference Team replied that no more detailed description is available, so this route now requires selected manuscript consultation rather than another broad staff-search request.
• raw/bl-mss-eur-d546-handlist-crawl-2026-05-28.md — 28 May 2026 crawl of the British Library Mss Eur D546 collection page and all 33 child records. No child-record description contains Foulkes/Ffoulkes/Foulke/Fooks/Foulks, McKenna/Kenna/Ginna/Gnaw/Guinaw, Ballyduhig, Kilshenane, Kerry, Ireland/Irish, Wales/Radnor/Boughrood, Liverpool, or Shrewsbury. Prioritizes D546/22, /31, /32, /33, /9, and /25-/29 only if a future manuscript-consultation route is pursued.
• raw/foulkes-tipperary-hypothesis-test-2026-04.md — focused April 2026 test of Roche's 1998 Tipperary-Cromwellian identification of Jane Foulkes's family. Four convergent negatives: (1) no Foulkes in Bassett's 1889 Clonmel directory; (2) no Foulkes in Burke's Landed Gentry of Ireland, Irish Pedigrees, or Landed Estates Database; (3) Foulkscourt near Piltown was Hely property from 1697 (the specific locale Roche cited), so the third Irish "Foulkes-" place-name is ruled out alongside Foulkesmill and Foulksrath; (4) Simon Foulkes is not on the Irish Times Irishman's Diary Clonmel petit-jury list (possibly on the grand jury, but unverified). Verdict: the Welsh-border documentary identification is now the stronger reading; Roche's Tipperary suggestion appears to be a 1998 conjecture rather than a documented lineage.
• raw/lixnaw-listowel-register-coverage-2026-05.md — May 2026 follow-up to the Tipperary leads-chase, working the registers.nli.ie register inventory for the north-Kerry RC parishes (Lixnaw 0672 from 1810; Listowel 0678 from 1802; Causeway/Killury 0663 from 1806 with a 1782–86 stub; Duagh 0668 from 1819; Ardfert 0648 from 1835; Athea 0861 from 1830). Lands four substantive findings: (1) the compilation's "Elizabeth McKenna / 'Guinaw'" item is corrected — Guinaw is the Kerry RC parish-clerk orthography for McKenna itself, not a separate married surname; (2) Roche 1998's Sue-McKenna informant gives only four children (Thomas, Edmund, James, Mary), so the 8-children figure is a paraphrase-layer addition; (3) Irish Life and Lore audio CD191602-129 (Maurice O'Keeffe interviewing Jack & Sue McKenna) is a fourth independent family-memory channel saying Wexford not Tipperary, making the 1958 stone the lone outlier across the corpus; (4) Roche names Athea, Piltown, Wagga-Wagga (NSW), and Tarbert as McKenna descendant locations not yet on the wiki.
• raw/lixnaw-rc-edmund-mckenna-ellen-stack-baptisms-2026-05-25.md and raw/nli-lixnaw-rc-jan-feb-1821-bridget-guinaw-page076.jpg — 25 May 2026 live IrishGenealogy/NLI search of Lixnaw RC registers using McKenna variants. Finds the first eight baptisms for Edmund McKenna / Guinaw / Kenna / Genna / Gnaw + Ellen Stack at Rathea / Rahea / Rahigh, 1821–1838, including the 19 Jan 1821 Bridget Guinaw baptism with Thomas Guinaw as sponsor. The wider 26 May sweep adds a ninth child, Margaret Ginnagh, 11 Nov 1824. Saves full dates, addresses, sponsors, record identifiers, detail-page URLs, the NLI microfilm page target, and a local image copy of the register page.
• raw/evidence/nyc-hvr-ellen-mckenna-flood-1924-death-certificate-check-2026-06-16.html, with PDF and rendered page image — official NYC Historical Vital Records death certificate for Ellen Flood, died 3 Oct 1924 in Manhattan, naming father Edward McKenna and mother Ellen Stack, both born Ireland. This supports the McKenna + Stack descendant branch but does not name grandparents and is not proof of elder Thomas/Jane.
• raw/lixnaw-rc-all-mckenna-variant-records-2026-05-26.md — 26 May 2026 widened IrishGenealogy sweep of Lixnaw / Irremore RC records across McKenna, McEnna, Kenna, Genna, Gna, Gnaw, Gina, Ginna, Ginaw, Ginnaw, Guinaw, and Guina spellings. Opens and classifies 241 candidate records; retains 164 true McKenna-variant appearances across 144 baptisms and 20 marriages, including parent-, sponsor-, and witness-only collateral records missed by the first McKenna search.
• raw/listowel-st-marys-mckenna-variant-records-2026-05-26.md and raw/listowel-st-marys-mckenna-variant-records-2026-05-26.json — 26 May 2026 exhaustive IrishGenealogy sweep of Listowel / St Mary's Kerry RC records using the Kenna/McKenna surname-variation search and parent/sponsor/witness/spouse roles. Opens 271 fuzzy candidate records, excludes 131 false-positive near names, and retains 140 true McKenna-variant appearances: 126 baptisms, 14 marriages, and 0 burials. Also records the church-history conclusion that the present St Mary's building dates to 1829, while the Catholic worship context includes a 1777 Masshouse reference.

• raw/griffiths-valuation-muckno-mckenna.md — extracted McKenna rows plus the full Killycard occupant list. Headline: only 2 McKennas in the whole parish (Charles of Tullycaghny; Philip of Castleblayney York Street), and zero in Killycard — the 1827 cluster has vanished by 1858.
• raw/griffiths-muckno-printed-scan-p35.md + image at raw/griffiths-muckno-printed-scan-p69.png — user-supplied scan of the printed Griffith's volume, page 35 (Muckno parish, West-Street / York-Street sections). Supplies the Immediate Lessors column that failteromhat omits; identifies Philip M'Kenna's lessor as James M'Mahon (a Castleblayney middleman holding under Henry T. Hope).

Census of Ireland — 1901 & 1911, Castleblayney

• raw/philip-mckenna-castleblayney-1901-1911.md — synthesis of every McKenna household returned in Castleblayney Urban DED, 1901 (5 households) and 1911 (1 unrelated household). Identifies Griffith's 1858 "Philip M'Kenna of York Street" with 1901's "Frs Philip McKenna", 74, retired national teacher, never married, living with niece Mary Anne McKenna (25) at Fork Street or Broad Road, household 1629861. Gone from 1911 (died 1901–1910).
• raw/philip-mckenna-1901-form-a.pdf — original 1901 Form A scan, two persons, signed "F. P. McKenna". Source of the manuscript-vs-transcript reading that resolves "Fns Philip" → Francis Philip.
• raw/philip-mckenna-ancestor-trace.md — consolidated research log attempting to push Philip's paternal line further back. Lists the 1827 Muckno Tithe pool of candidate fathers, rules out the printed "Philip McKenna" references in O'Hart (Dundalk and Lr. Trough pedigrees) as NOT our Philip, flags Livingstone's 1980 Dublin informant "Philip McKenna of Corrella, Kimmage Road" as a probable collateral descendant, and enumerates the three non-remote records (Mary Anne's marriage cert, Philip's death cert, NAI ED-series teacher file) that would close the gap.

Livingstone, Clogher Record (1981) — Castleblayney Rent Book, 1772

• raw/livingstone-1772-castleblayney-rent-book.md — full transcription of Peadar Livingstone, "Castleblayney Rent Book, 1772", Clogher Record Vol. 10, No. 3 (1981), pp. 414–418. JSTOR stable ID 27695837. Commentary on the 22-page home-made rental (Monaghan County Museum, Fisher gift 1980) of the 9th Lord Blayney's estate under Cadwallader (1761–75). 105 lease-holders, middleman-era tenure, townland-by-townland Catholic-tenant roster. Headline finding: no McKenna on the principal rental — so McKennas in Drumillard 1772 were cottier sub-tenants under Rev. John Walsh (CoI curate) or a successor of Charles Molloy, not direct Blayney lessees.

O'Hart, Irish Pedigrees (1892) — the Monaghan McKenna sept

• raw/ohart-shirley-mckenna-trough-pedigree.md — verbatim extract of John O'Hart, Irish Pedigrees, 5th ed. 1892, pp. 543–545 "MacKenna. (No. 1), Lords of Cruagh (or Truagh)", which itself quotes Shirley's History of the County of Monaghan (1877) Part II pp. 136–140. Establishes Patrick MacKenna of Lower Trough (d. before 10 Jun 1625), his 1591 Elizabethan grant of 32 townlands (three named: Ballydavough, Ballymeny, Ballylattin), and the progressive break-up of his estate: 1609 five to Dermot Mc Ewarde; 1619 further; 1626 five to Thomas Blaney by son Shane/John, three to B. Brett of Drogheda by son Tool. Critical correction: the 1626 Trough sale is geographically separate from the 1611 Plantation grant that founded Castleblayney; two different Blayney acquisitions, 25 km apart. Cross-referenced against Livingstone, The Monaghan Story (1980), p. 706.

Truagh-area parish registers — widened search, April 2026

• raw/truagh-area-parish-registers-2026.md — survey of RC parish register start-dates across the McKenna sept homeland and adjoining parishes: Errigal Truagh (NLI 0309, begins Nov 1835), Donagh (0303, May 1836), Aghnamullen East (0287, Jul 1857), Aghnamullen West (0288, Feb 1841), Clontibret (0298, Feb 1861), Muckno (0294, Nov 1835), Killeavy Upper (0198, Oct 1832), Killeavy Lower (0193, Jan 1835), Creggan Upper / Crossmaglen (0206, Aug 1796 — the earliest in the region), Creggan Lower / Cullyhanna (0229, Feb 1845). None covers Thomas's 1772 birth year. The Clogher-diocese cluster-start at 1835 is a regional administrative pattern, not a local loss. Includes a McKenna-density ranking by parish (Errigal Truagh → Truagh → Donagh → Clontibret → Aghnamullen → Muckno → Killeavy/Creggan) from Registry of Deeds, Shirley 1640, and Pender's 1659 Census.
• raw/evidence/tydavnet-baptism-parent-and-old-graveyard-patrick-mckenna-2026-06-16.html — 16 June 2026 Tydavnet/Tedavnet parish-register and Old Graveyard check for the TNA WO 97/189/104 soldier. Clarifies that WO 97/189/104 is a British War Office / Royal Hospital Chelsea service-paper reference with an Irish reported birthplace, not an Irish parish record. Confirms public baptism coverage starts too late for a 1770-1772 Thomas McKenna baptism, anchors the Catholic register boundary to NLI parish 0319, locally saved at raw/evidence/nli-catholic-parish-registers-tydavnet-0319-2026-06-16.html, and the official place-name boundary to Logainm Tigh Damhnata / Tedavnet, corrects the Church of Ireland survival boundary to Tydavnet baptisms/marriages/burials from 1822, preserves the IGP Tydavnet Old Graveyard row and saved printed-index crop for Patrick McKenna of Aghacla, 1783, adds a plot-map row crop locating plot 126 near the dashed path, records the IGP source provenance from contributor Jack Storey and transcriber Kathleen Myers, separates same-table control rows KERAN Patrick, KENAN James Francis, and COLL Terence of Gola (Owen McKenna), records the IGP site context that the old graveyard included burials of all religions and dates back to the 1600s, audits all five public IGP images and the separate Visions of the Past 30-image sweep, finds no separate original stone close-up for plot 126, quarantines a different Patrick Treanor/Treaner inscription in the Visions photos, adds the 1796 Patrick M'Kenna, Tedavnet flax-growers control, and identifies Townlands of Tydavnet Parish (2011) as the local-book target for resolving Aghacla. The IreAtlas exact-place continuation shows Aghacla has no exact Monaghan townland result there, while Aghaclogha is a 118-acre Tedavnet-parish townland and remains the best public candidate; Aghnaclea is Kilmore parish and Aghaclay is Aghabog parish, so both are caution controls; exact Aghananimy is civil parish Monaghan, not Tedavnet, so The MacKennas of Aghananimy remains same-barony context unless its pages bridge to Tedavnet/Thomas. OpenStreetMap/Nominatim JSON controls now add that exact Aghacla returned no result, Aghaclogha resolved at 54.3083143, -7.0160363, and Tydavnet Old Graveyard resolved at 54.2960518, -7.0164382, putting Aghaclogha roughly 1.36 km north of the graveyard: geographically plausible, still unproved, and not parent evidence. The latest local-book boundary pins Townlands of Tydavnet Parish to Monaghan Spydus BRN 1980357, ISBN 9780956995803, four copies, and no public text extract; it also records a clean NAI Tydavnet residence wills-index no-result and a blocked Logainm Aghaclogha direct search. HathiTrust confirms Diocese of Clogher: parochial records, Monaghan volumes 1-2 are Full view, and the matching Google Books OCR continuation has now read the Tedavnet chapter and Aghananimy pages; they add context but no baptism/parent proof. The latest access check adds the Findmypast partner route for WO 97/189/104, the PHSI Ballyalbany 1804 seat-list member gate, and PHSI congregation-list controls confirming Ballyalbany: Second Monaghan, Cahans, and Scotstown as Monaghan Presbyterian congregations while warning that the congregation-history database is not a birth/baptism/marriage/death/burial source. Father-generation leads and access routes only; not proof of Thomas's parents.
• 16 June 2026 Tydavnet catalogue-search addendum — the same Tydavnet packet now adds Grenham Church of Ireland / Presbyterian catalogue confirmation; the Cahans LDS/FamilySearch 1279239 item 16 access hint; FamilySearch 403/Incapsula access blocking for direct catalogue requests; and expanded Internet Archive zero-result full-text/OCR controls for Thomas McKenna + Tydavnet/Tedavnet, Patrick McKenna + Aghacla, broad Tydavnet/Tedavnet/Tydavanet + McKenna, Cahans + McKenna/Kenna, Ballyalbany/Belanalbany + McKenna/Kenna, Aghacla/Aghaclogha + McKenna, and the exact Ballyalbany church-history title. This is an access/no-result boundary only, not parent proof.
• 16 June 2026 RootsIreland Monaghan access addendum — the current RootsIreland Monaghan online sources table still has direct Tedavnet/Tydavnet coverage too late for a 1770-1772 baptism, but it exposes the adjacent Tullycorbet (Cahans) Presbyterian baptisms 1767-1787 as an online source lane and lists early Monaghan substitute targets including Clogher wills/intestacies, Manor/Lordship of Monaghan lease abstracts, Grand Jury bills/newspaper extracts, the 1796 flax list, and Monaghan tithes. The logged-out Baptism/Birth route redirects to login, so no RootsIreland account-level Thomas/McKenna result or no-hit has been viewed. Access target only; no Thomas baptism or parent proof yet.
• raw/evidence/tydavnet-proof-retrieval-packet-2026-06-16.html — copy-ready source-access request packet for the remaining Tydavnet proof lane. It covers the full WO 97/189/104 service paper, Kabristan Patrick McKenna of Aghacla, Monaghan County Libraries local-history sources, PRONI/PHSI adjacent church records, and RootsIreland/Monaghan Genealogy searches. It now includes the Cahans early-register route through PRONI MIC.1P/172 / C.R.3/25 and FamilySearch film 1279239 item 16, the PHSI congregational-record guide clue to the Ballyalbany 1751 call to Rev.

• raw/evidence/tydavnet-live-source-recheck-continuation-2026-06-16.html — compact live-source recheck addendum for the active Tydavnet goal. Reopens the live IGP Tydavnet Old Graveyard transcription and PHSI public index/family-history/archive pages, records fresh exact public-web no-result searches for Patrick McKenna + Aghacla/Tydavnet/plot 126, CR3/25/A/4, CR3/25, Cahans, FamilySearch film 1279239, Ballyalbany/Second Monaghan + McKenna + 1804, Tydavanet/Tydavnet/Tedavnet + Thomas McKenna baptism/parents, the Ballyalbany 1751 Thomas Clark call / Orr and Haslett book route, OpenLibrary work/edition lookup snapshots, and Kabristan/Early Burials Monaghan + McKenna, adds an image-source recheck showing no Patrick/Aghacla/plot-126 original stone image beyond the IGP printed-index board and general graveyard images, and preserves copy-ready PHSI/PRONI, Ballyalbany, and Kabristan request wording. Confirms Patrick of Aghacla remains documented by IGP plot 126 only; no Thomas baptism, parent proof, original plot-126 stone close-up, or relationship bridge.
• raw/evidence/googlebooks-clogher-tydavnet-ocr-continuation-2026-06-16.html — saved Google Books search-within/OCR continuation for J. E. M'Kenna's Clogher volume. It reads the Tedavnet chapter pp. 313-348 and The Mackennas of Aghananimy pp. 106-109, with JSON and segment files under raw/evidence/googlebooks-clogher-searches-2026-06-16/.

The TEDAVNET entry confirms Tydavnet C.I. baptisms from 1822, R.C. baptisms from 1835, Ballyalbany/2nd Monaghan Presbyterian baptisms from 1802, and Scotstown Presbyterian baptisms from 1855. The live eCatalogue exact-reference check confirms MIC1/246, MIC1D/2, MIC1D/16, MIC1D/17, MIC1P/146, and MIC1P/203, but the Tydavnet/Tedavnet rows remain too late for c.1770-1772. The adjacent register-ring continuation records Donagh C.I. isolated 1736 entries plus a 1775 poor list and vestry minutes from 1731; Cahans Presbyterian baptisms crossing 1772 and session minutes from 1751; and Drumsnat/Tullycorbet C.I. registers from 1796. The exact digital-copy list extraction identifies CR3/25 Cahans baptisms 1767-1843 as the best adjacent digital-access target. The focused Cahans child-reference correction shows that slashless CR3/25A/4 failed, but wildcard CR3/25* exposes CR3/25/A/4, the open 1752-1844 typescript personal-name index to Cahans baptism registers and session minute book; CR3/25/A/1, the 1767-1792 baptism-register copy marked Open - On-Site Only; and CR3/25/B/2, the 1767-1836 session book. A same-day live detail-page recheck through PRONI's current eCatNI_IE app confirms A/1 is explicitly On-Site Only, while A/4 and B/2 have blank Digital Record fields and expose no remote image/transcript/download route in the public session. The PHSI congregational-record guide explains the evidence potential of Presbyterian baptism, marriage, session, communicant, and congregational census-style records, and identifies the Ballyalbany 1751 call to Rev. Thomas Clark, published in Orr and Haslett's Historical Sketch of Ballyalbany Presbyterian Church (1940), pp. 10-12, as an early name-list target. PRONI metadata searches under CR3/25* for McKenna/Kenna variants returned no rows, and public searches found no copy of the Ballyalbany call pages. Useful access boundary; no 1772 Tydavnet baptism or parent proof.

Useful for mapping the Patrick of Aghacla lead and keeping Aghananimy out of the Tedavnet proof bucket; not parent proof.
• raw/evidence/tydavnet-aghacla-aghaclogha-logainm-townlands-griffith-census-continuity-2026-06-16.html — standalone 16 June 2026 place-continuity addendum for the IGP Aghacla wording. It cites the direct Townlands.ie Aghaclogha townland page, Logainm API/data.gov.ie metadata, the Failte Romhat Griffith transcript, and official NAI 1901/1911 census pages. Aghaclogha is now the strongest public candidate because it is in Killylough ED, Tedavnet Civil Parish, links to Logainm ID 40792, and has McKenna continuity in Griffith and the census. Still not proof of exact IGP place wording, original stone wording, Patrick's relationship to Thomas, Thomas's baptism, or Thomas's parents.

Duchas gives 16 late local Tydavnet + McKenna transcript controls, zero Tedavnet/Tydnavet/Tydavanet spelling-variant hits, no Thomas McKenna or Thomas Kenna Tydavnet target, three non-target all-Duchas exact Thomas McKenna controls, one non-target Patrick McKenna topographical/folklore hit, and no Aghacla/Aghaclogha transcript hit. The direct Logainm Aghaclogha search returned security verification, so exact official place-name confirmation still needs manual/browser or local-book access.

• raw/Early Burials in County Monaghan 1625-1800 (M-Y) - The Kabristan Archives.html — local Kabristan abbreviated early-burials index used in the Tydavnet packet. It independently lists Tydavnet Old Graveyard McKenna/Kenan/Keran controls including McKENNA James of Mullockan, McKENNA Peter, McKENNA William, KENAN Francis, KENAN James, and KERAN Patrick, while the free text does not expose the IGP Patrick McKenna of Aghacla, 1783 row. The expanded line extraction confirms Kabristan can show relationship wording in free text for some adjacent Errigal/Donagh McKenna entries, including daughter/father/son wording, but the Tydavnet McKenna/Kenan/Keran rows show no parent/child wording. Full Kabristan records remain an order target; no parent proof.

Saves result/detail pages, PDFs, rendered form images, and rendered NAI index pages 00589/00590 for Mary McKenna of Crosses naming parents Patrick McKenna + Cath Woods, Margaret McKenna / Mrs Margaret Sherry of Clontoe naming John McKenna + Rose McGuin, and Ellen McCaffrey of Annahagh naming father John McKenna and mother Betty. The index pages also show Annahagh McKenna 1841/1851 searches marked not found and confirm the Clontoe/Crosses McKenna (McGuin/Woods) contexts.

Checks Pre-1858 Wills and Admons, 1740 Protestant Householders, 1766 Religious Census, and 1775 Dissenters Petitions. Place-only searches prove PRONI can return Tedavnet/Tydavnet rows, but Thomas/Patrick/any McKenna variant searches at Tedavnet/Tydavnet return no records. Patrick McKenna of Goland is treated as a Tyrone/Armagh-diocesan control, not Tydavnet parent proof; local Gola English/Gola Irish townlands do not change that because PRONI says Goland and the Gola McKenna search returned no records.
• raw/patrick-elizabeth-mckenna-monaghan-marriage-search-2026-05.md — May 2026 search for a marriage or substitute record for Thomas-1772's inferred parents Patrick McKenna ? + Elizabeth ?. Core finding: Catholic marriage registers in Errigal Truagh / Donagh / Muckno / Clontibret begin too late for c. 1760-1772. Best substitute lead: Doagheys / Doaghies, Donagh / Glasslough, now framed as an Errigal clerical-name signal (Tulius / Tullius McKenna, 1698-1764) leading into Torlough McKenna at Doagheys in 1751, Patrick / William / Terence M'Kenna in Rushe's 1797 Glasslough list, Patt / Mary / Felix M'Kenna in the 1826 Donagh Tithe page, and Francis / Patrick / Rose Mc Kenna in Griffith's.

Extracts the McKenna passages most relevant to the Thomas-1772 search: M'Kenna of Trough at Donagh old church, a priest named M'Kenna serving Slieve Beagh / Truagh, Patrick + William M'Kenna of Doaghies in the 1797 Glasslough United Irish trials, the wider Patrick / William / Terence / James / Samuel M'Kenna warrant-list cluster, and the separate Owen + William M'Kenna of Dheariugh / Trough Blaris Moor execution story. Important context, still not proof of Thomas-1772's parents.
• raw/doagheys-mckenna-continuity-search-2026-05.md — second-pass Doagheys continuity search. Adds the Old Errigal Cemetery memorial no. 113 Tulius / Tullius McKenna clerical-name signal (1698-1764), a web-indexed 1751 Leslie Estate rent-roll lead for Torlough McKenna & at Doagheys, Rushe's 1797 Patrick + William + Terence M'Kenna Doaghies / Glasslough lead, and the same-townland chain through the 1826 Tithe, Griffith's Valuation, and later Doagheys McKennas. Bottom line: stronger continuity, still no proof of Thomas-1772's parents and no target-generation Elizabeth found.
• raw/thomas-mckenna-1772-patrick-james-patrick-proof-hunt-2026-05.md — May 2026 proof-hunt matrix for the new target: prove Thomas-1772's father Patrick McKenna and possible brothers James McKenna and Patrick McKenna. Adds the Historic Graves Errigal Truagh survey as a top-tier lane because it preserves 18th-century McKenna stones with relationship wording, including Patrick McKenna of Derrykeneighbeg with children in 1779, Patrick McKenna died 1817 aged 67, Patrick McKenna of Aultnaveagh with son Bernard, and several James McKenna relationship stones. Important: these are proof-model and cluster leads, not proof yet of Thomas's parentage.

M'Kenna's two-volume Diocese of Clogher: parochial records, Monaghan. Finds no hidden wife/child names in the available Old Errigal transcripts, no Derrykinnigh/Derrykeneighbeg hit in the Clogher volumes, no McKenna+Doagheys hit, and no target Thomas-1772 proof. Closes the easy remote HathiTrust/Google Books full-text lane.

It connects the 1779 stone to the 1826 Tithe Applotment cluster in modern Derrykinnigh Beg and adjoining Derrykinnigh More: Patt, multiple James entries, Owen, Phelemy, Jas, and Peter McKenna. This is a same-townland cluster lead, not proof. Supporting local files: raw/tithe-errigal-trough-1826-derrykinnigh-mckenna-results.html and raw/tithe-errigal-trough-1826-derrykinnigh-p216.pdf.

• raw/mckenna-sept-widened-search-2026-04.md — consolidated follow-on findings from the April 2026 widened search. Identifies "Bully" William McKenna of Willville, Aghaninimy (d. 1816, father of Don Juan MacKenna of Chile) as the first named Monaghan McKenna contemporary of Thomas-1772 — almost certainly not Thomas's father but a useful landmark of the 1770s sept. Also catalogues J.E. M'Kenna, Diocese of Clogher: parochial records, Monaghan (2 vols, Fermanagh Herald Office, 1920; ~1,058 pp; HathiTrust Record 006284279); the later May 13 2026 note closes that easy full-text lane with no target proof. Includes a precise window for the Creggan Upper RC register (baptisms 5 Aug 1796 – 19 Jan 1803; marriages 8 Aug 1796 – 16 Feb 1803; NLI Position 5592, PRONI MIC.1D/43), and the correct current URL for the Clann McKenna Society (clannmckenna.ie, not the older clannmackenna.ie).

It interprets Donagh parish townlands including Cloncaw, Drumcaw, Balderg, and Drumgahan as possible remembered battle sites. Contextual value for Donagh / Glaslough / McKenna Country geography; not direct genealogical evidence for Thomas-1772.

Lists the McMahon chiefs and Patrick McKenna — the remainder of Truagh as the 1591 allotment grantees. Not direct genealogical evidence for Thomas-1772; best used to explain why Castleblayney/Muckno is adjacent to, but distinct from, the main McKenna sept homeland.

The 1798 Wexford Rising — Thomas McKenna claim

• raw/irish-times-richard-roche-1998-brave-united-irishman.md — Richard Roche, "An Irishman's Diary", Irish Times, 11 August 1998. Identifies the couple in Robert Dwyer Joyce's ballad The Boys of Wexford as Thomas McKenna (Monaghan, 1798 insurgent) and Jane Foulkes ("captain of the Yeos"), settled in Listowel, buried in the Hegarty plot at Kilshenane. The user-supplied article copy is preserved at raw/thomas mckenna article by richard roche.docx; saved HTML captures are preserved at raw/evidence/irish-times-irishmans-diary-thomas-mckenna-jane-foulkes-1998-2026-05-30.html and raw/evidence/irish-times-1998-08-11-richard-roche-irishmans-diary-mckenna-foulkes.html. This is the strongest external published corroboration of the Wexford-family-memory channel, but later stone photography corrects Roche's reported stone wording: the re-cut inscription says Tipperary, not Wexford.
• raw/wicklow-united-irishmen-odonnell-database.md — surname searches in Ruan O'Donnell's canonical Wicklow United Irishmen register (1998), via Peter May's CGI interface. Zero McKennas; one Kenna (native of Stratford, Co. Wicklow). Refutes the specific "Kenna at Ballyellis" identification that Roche's 1998 column tentatively suggested.

Tipperary 1798 leads-chase (May 2026)

• raw/tipperary-leads-chase-2026-05.md — focused May 2026 follow-up testing the three Tipperary leads opened by the gravestone wording: (1) NAI Rebellion Papers SOC/Tipperary search for McKenna; (2) Tipperary Yeomanry corps lists 1796–1803 search for a Captain Foulkes; (3) South-Tipperary Foulkes residency 1750–1900. All three return strong negatives at the remote-online level. The stone's "1798 REBELLION TIPPERARY" wording is family memory, not document.
• raw/tipperary-courtmartials-1798-1801.pdf — Patrick C. Power, "Tipperary Courtmartials: 1798–1801", Tipperary Historical Journal 1993, 14pp. Drawn directly on Rebellion Papers 620 series. Plain-text grep returns zero McKenna and zero Foulkes. Tangential coincidences flagged: a John Stack tried at Clonmel 1801 (acquitted); Sarah and James Leahy as Crown witnesses at a Carrick-on-Suir court-martial 1800.
• raw/okeeffe-1990-1798-south-tipperary.pdf — Diarmuid O'Keeffe, "1798 in South Tipperary", Tipperary Historical Journal 1990, 13pp. Canonical narrative survey. Zero McKenna, zero Foulkes.

Zero McKenna, zero Foulkes — but with the striking incidental finding that Cunningham was born at Moyvane, near Listowel, Co. Kerry, in 1770 (same north-Kerry parish complex as the McKennas), proving the Listowel-Tipperary-1798 axis is historically real even if not via Thomas McKenna.

Listowel descendants & the Kilshenane gravestone reading (May 2026)

• raw/evidence/thomas-mckenna-1772-kilshenane-headstone-proof-2026-06-10.md — 10 June 2026 direct proof note for the photographed Kilshenane / Kilsynan McKenna-Hegarty headstone at wiki/assets/graves/kilshenane-mckenna-headstone.jpeg. Headline finding: the photograph documents Thomas McKenna, his death on 5 May 1835, wife Jane Ffoulkes McKenna, her death on 7 Dec 1840, their son Thomas McKenna d. 16 Jan 1870, and Annie Thornton McKenna d. 3 May 1895. This is direct memorial proof for Thomas and Jane, not proof of Thomas's parents, Jane's father, or the 1798-story details.
• raw/evidence/thomas-mckenna-1772-non-gravestone-documentation-proof-2026-06-10.md — 10 June 2026 non-gravestone documentation note for Thomas McKenna (1772-1835) and Jane/Jennie Foulkes McKenna. Headline finding: Roche's 1998 Irish Times article and Donald James McKenna's family history document Thomas and Jane outside the stone, while the official NAI 1828 Thomas Kenna of Coolatun/Killshanane wills-index row is the strongest same-place pre-1835 official hook but remains identity-conflicted.

Headline finding: supports the Ballyduhig/Smearla Hill, Jane Foulks, McKenna elopement, Leahy daughter, and Kilsinan/Kilshenane burial tradition, but it is local-history evidence and does not name Thomas by forename in the target sentence.

Official IrishGenealogy detail pages document Thomas McKenna of Irramore marrying Elizabeth Dunn in Lixnaw RC parish on 13 Feb 1829 and the Ballyduhig Thomas Gnaw/Gna + Elizabeth Dunne baptisms in Listowel. This proves a Thomas McKenna in the relevant Catholic register world, best read as the son Thomas d.1870, and preserves the candidate elder-Thomas sponsor entries (Thomas Guinaw, 1821/1826) plus Jane-adjacent records.
• raw/evidence/irishgenealogy-pre-1835-thomas-mckenna-variant-expansion-2026-06-10.md — 10 June 2026 expansion of saved Lixnaw/Listowel McKenna-variant result sets. Headline finding: adds official pre-1835 Thomas-variant sponsor or child records for Thomas Genna/Gna/Gnaw/Kenna in 1820, 1821, 1825, 1830, 1831, and 1833, plus saved control households for other same-name Thomases. The 1821 Rathea and 1826 Coolnaleen Thomas Guinaw sponsor records remain the best elder-Thomas RC-register candidates, but still not completion-level proof.
• raw/evidence/irishgenealogy-recorded-person-thomas-jane-gna-gnaw-cluster-2026-06-16.md and HTML view — 16 June 2026 IrishGenealogy recorded-person/sponsor expansion for Listowel/Lixnaw Gna/Gnaw/Ginna/Kenna controls. Headline finding: official detail pages document Thomas Gnaw as father at Ballyduhig in 1831 with Elizabeth Dunne and Jane Ginnaw as sponsor at Rathea in 1838. These are real local non-cemetery records, but neither proves elder Thomas McKenna (1772-1835) or Jane Ffoulkes/Foulkes because no record pairs Thomas with Jane or names Foulkes/Ffoulkes.
• raw/evidence/irramore-thomas-mckenna-hypothesis-2026-06-10.md and HTML view — 10 June 2026 focused Irramore / Irremore hypothesis check. It preserves the 1814 Lixnaw baptism at Irremore with sponsor James Guinaw, the 1829 Thomas McKenna of Irramore marriage, the NAI Erymore/Irramore tithe negative control with manuscript page image, the 1840 Irrimore Bridget McEnna marriage witnessed by Thomas Ginaw, and the 1841 Jane Gnaw clue. Headline finding: Irramore is a real McKenna-family/local-register setting, but no current document proves elder Thomas McKenna (1772-1835) lived or worked there; the 1829 Thomas of Irramore record is best assigned to son Thomas d.1870.

Clear text transcription of the visible row: Kenna | Thomas | Coolatun, Killshanane, Kerry; mason | 1828. The manuscript column is Year of Probate, so the row is official same-place evidence for a Thomas Kenna who likely died by 1828, not a finished merge with Thomas McKenna d. 5 May 1835.

• raw/kilshenane-grave-and-listowel-descendants-2025.md — May 2026 user-supplied compilation drawing on five upstream sources: (1) dalyskennelly2000.jimdofree.com (the Kennelly-family site of John Joseph Kennelly), which reproduces the full Kilshenane / Kilsinan tombstone reading across three generations of McKenna and Hegarty burials and supplies a Kennelly-Leahy chain back to Mary McKenna (1804–1867); (2) listowelconnection.com (Bryan Mac Mahon's blog), which includes Mac Mahon's first-person paragraph naming the 1798 founding couple and the Hegarty plot at Kilsynan, and his account of the Troy family of Church Street; (3) killererin.galwaycommunityheritage.org (the elopement-folklore page identifying Jane as "from south Tipperary"); (4) ancestry.co.uk (record card for Jane Ffoulkes, headline "had 8 children"); (5) a Gemini AI conversation giving paraphrase / leads on eight children, marriages, and the Listowel McKenna's Mill business line. Headline finding: the gravestone reading explicitly says "Thomas McKenna a leader in the 1798 rebellion Tipperary" — at variance with Roche's 1998 quote of the same stone ("Wexford") and Mac Mahon's gloss ("Vinegar Hill"). The later photographed stone confirms the names and death dates.

Headline finding: first eight baptisms for Edmund McKenna / Guinaw / Kenna / Genna / Gnaw and Ellen Stack at Rathea / Rahea / Rahigh, 1821-1838. The 19 Jan 1821 Bridget Guinaw baptism names Thomas Guinaw as sponsor, placing a Thomas McKenna-variant name inside the same Rathea McKenna/Stack network; the linked image is the local copy of the NLI January-February 1821 register page.

The certificate names father Edward McKenna and mother Ellen Stack, both born Ireland; it supports the McKenna + Stack descendant branch but does not name grandparents and is not proof of elder Thomas/Jane.
• raw/lixnaw-rc-all-mckenna-variant-records-2026-05-26.md — 26 May 2026 complete indexed Lixnaw RC sweep for McKenna/Ginna/Gnaw/Guinaw variants. Headline finding: 164 true variant records after detail-page classification, exposing several parish-level collateral clusters in Rathea, Ballynageragh/Ballingerah, Braumaddra/Bromadare, Lyre, Knocknagloch, Glenoe, Gortacloghan, and Pallas.
• raw/north-kerry-rc-thomas-jane-children-sweep-2026-05-26.md — 26 May 2026 nearby-parish IrishGenealogy church-record sweep for Thomas McKenna + Jane Foulkes's reported children. Covers Listowel, Lixnaw, Duagh, Killury & Ratto, Causeway, Ballybunion, Lisselton, Ballylongford, Ballyduff, Abbeydorney, Ardfert, Kilflynn, Moyvane, Tarbert, Kilnaughtin, Brosna, and Knocknagoshel using McKenna/Gna/Gnaw/Ginna/Guinaw/Kenna/Genna and related variants. Headline finding: no direct baptism names Thomas + Jane as parents, but the sweep identifies adult household clusters for Mary + William Leahy, Edmund + Ellen Stack, Thomas of Ballyduhig + Elizabeth Dunn / Ann Thornton, Jane + James Larkin, Patrick + Sarah Stack, and Gerald/Garrett + Mary Thornton. It also adds Margaret Ginnagh (1824) as the ninth Edmund/Ellen Stack child and identifies James Gnaw baptized 25 May 1833 at Ballyduhig as the strongest current candidate for James McKenna of Foynes / Mount Trenchard.
• raw/listowel-foynes-tithe-griffith-2026-05.md — May 2026 Tithe Applotment Books (1825) + Griffith's Valuation (1852) lookups for both the Kerry and Limerick sides via NAI titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie and failteromhat.com volunteer transcripts. Headline finding: Thomas Ginna at Ballyduhig, Kilshenane civil parish, Co. Kerry, in 1852 Griffith's — first direct documentary attestation of Thomas McKenna-d.1870 at his named home farm. "Ginna" is the documented North Kerry orthography for McKenna (the same orthographic system that produces "Guinaw" in Lixnaw RC baptisms). Six Ginna heads of household across Listowel + Kilshenane parishes 1852. The McKenna / Stack / Thornton / Hegarty / Carmody marriage network all live within 1 km of Ballyduhig in 1852, on Ballyduhig itself or its border townlands. Foynes arrival window pinned to 1852–1862 (no McKenna in Robertstown / Loghill / Shanagolden / Kilcolman 1852 Griffith's). Daniel Sheahan at Ballynash (Clare) in 1852 as the likely birth-family of Margaret Sheahan.
• raw/evidence/nai-tithe-kerry-thomas-mckenna-variant-sweep-2026-06-10.md — 10 June 2026 NAI Tithe Applotment Books sweep for pre-1835 Kerry Thomas McKenna/Kenna/Ginna/Gnaw/Kinna/Kunnal variants. Headline finding: no clean Thomas Kenna/McKenna entry at Ballyduhig/Kilshenane; best local candidate-control is Thos Kunnal, Coolnaleen Lower, Kilshenane, 1825, while exact same-parish Kenna controls are Ed Kenna and Jans/Jno Kenna at Rathea/Ratheal. Kerry-wide exact-name controls include Thomas M'Kenna at Ballyneesteenig, Cloghane, 1826, and Thomas M'Kenna at Andamore Lower, Kinard, but both sit outside the target geography.

Headline finding: no target Ballyduhig/Kilshenane deed-index bridge found; the only Kerry McKenna townland-index control is a Dingle/Kinikeen McKENNA-to-RICE memorial reference outside the north-Kerry target geography.
• raw/evidence/ina-1829-1835-thomas-kenna-ballyduhig-kilshenane-newspaper-sweep-2026-06-10.md and HTML view — 10 June 2026 Irish Newspaper Archive all-title 1829-1835 recheck for Thomas Kenna, Ballyduhig, and Kilshenane. Headline finding: no target elder-Thomas hit outside the Kerry filter; the visible hits are Dublin/Freeman's Journal Thomas Kenna controls, a Limerick Chronicle Ballyduhig/Michael Harnett control, and a Kerry Evening Post Kilshenane tithe-relief/parish notice with no McKenna-variant person.
• raw/evidence/csorp-kenna-thomas-kerry-catalogue-sweep-2026-06-10.md — 10 June 2026 National Archives of Ireland CSO/RP catalogue sweep for Kenna, Thomas McKenna, Thomas Kenna, Ballyduhig, Kilshenane, Ginna, Gnaw, Guinaw, and Coolnaleen. Headline finding: no direct elder-Thomas Kerry hit found; official controls include Patrick McKenna/Kenna of Killarney, Edmond Kenna in the 1826 Tralee election file, and James McKenna of Castleblayney/Broomfield.

• raw/ballyduhig-thomas-ginna-griffith-plot-10a-2026-05-25.md and raw/askaboutireland-griffiths-ballyduhig-thomas-ginna-page121.jpg — 25 May 2026 extraction from the AskAboutIreland original Griffith's page for Ballyduhig, Kilshenane, page 121. Pins Thomas Ginna / McKenna to map reference 10a, a house and office valued at 12 shillings, and shows him as immediate lessor for the associated 10b-10e subholdings.
• raw/ballyduhig-thomas-mckenna-record-comb-2026-05-26.md — 26 May 2026 Ballyduhig record-and-landlord pass. Headline finding: Griffith's immediate lessor for Thomas Ginna / McKenna at Ballyduhig 10a was Sir John Walsh, Bart., identified with Sir John Benn-Walsh / Lord Ormathwaite, whose Kerry estate included Kilshenane. Also preserves two National Archives of Ireland census-search form PDFs: Elizabeth MacKenna / Troy of Church Street, Listowel, daughter of Thomas MacKenna / Kenna and Anne Thornton of Ballyduhig, plus the corresponding Mc Kenna (Thornton) Ballyduhig index page.
• raw/benn-walsh-1974-ballyduhig-kenna-extract-2026-05-27.md — 27 May 2026 extract note for James S. Donnelly Jr.'s 1974 publication of Sir John Benn-Walsh's Irish estate journals. Headline finding: the article names Kenagh/Kenna in Ballyduhig during the 1849-1852 estate redivision; this is very likely Thomas McKenna d.1870 / Thomas Ginna at Griffith's plot 10a, but the article alone is not standalone proof because it does not give Kenna's forename. External PDF: JCHAS 1974 Benn-Walsh journal.
• raw/irish-newspaper-archive-ballyduhig-thomas-kenna-search-2026-05-27.md — 27 May 2026 Irish Newspaper Archive / BNA newspaper-index and text-view sweep for Thomas McKenna, Thomas Kenna, M'Kenna, Ginna, Gnaw, Ballyduhig, Kilshenane, Listowel, Lixnaw, Sir John Walsh, and Ormathwaite. Headline finding: Kerry Evening Post Clerk of the Peace voter-registration notices place Kenna Thomas of Ballyduhig in December 1836 and October 1839 as a 10 pound freeholder. The 1836 notice says farmer and mason, part of Ballyduhig, for the Tralee session of 4 Jan 1837; the 1839 notice says dwelling-house and lands at Ballyduhig for the Listowel session of 2 Nov 1839. Since Thomas 1772 died in May 1835, these are treated as direct evidence for Thomas d.1870 and post-death continuity evidence for the older Ballyduhig line.
• raw/kerry-freeholder-register-targets-ballyduhig-thomas-kenna-2026-05-27.md — 27 May 2026 target note for the underlying County Kerry freeholder/register material behind the Thomas Kenna notices. Headline finding: the precise archive ask is for County Kerry Clerk of the Peace application/register material for the Tralee Sessions of the Peace on 4 Jan 1837 and the Listowel District Sessions of the Peace on 2 Nov 1839, including whether the original books state tenure, lease lives, landlord, admission/rejection, objections, or fuller property wording.
• raw/kerry-freeholder-register-book-search-thomas-1772-2026-05-27.md — 27 May 2026 pre-1835 Clerk of the Peace follow-up for Thomas McKenna 1772. Headline finding: no public digitized record yet names Thomas 1772 in the freeholder books, but the Deputy Keeper's guide confirms that freeholders' affidavits, applications/books/lists, and registers are the right record classes because they may preserve sworn facts, Assistant Barrister decisions, and occasionally deeds or leases produced at registration. Adds CSORP 1829 Kerry Clerk-of-Peace machinery and the 24 Jun 1829 Tralee Mercury list of applications as next targets.
• raw/ballyduhig-ormathwaite-estate-rent-roll-targets-2026-05-26.md — 26 May 2026 Ormathwaite / Benn-Walsh estate-paper target note for Ballyduhig. Headline finding: the strongest pre-1835 proof lane is not a generic Listowel estate trail but Ormathwaite rent ledgers, tenant-change lists, tenancy agreements, and field-division maps. Published Benn-Walsh journal extracts put Kenagh/Kenna in Ballyduhig's 1850-1852 estate-division context beside Walsh, Loughnane, and Naughten. Priority repositories: Trinity College Dublin MSS 5960-5964/5965, Kerry Library's Lord Ormathwaite Land Commission sale papers, and National Library of Wales Ormathwaite Estate Records.
• raw/ballyduhig-ormathwaite-archive-request-plan-2026-05-27.md — 27 May 2026 actionable Ormathwaite archive request plan. Headline finding: the practical request sequence is TCD MS 5960-64 / MSS 5960-5965 first for Irish Ormathwaite deeds and papers, Kerry Library second for Lord Ormathwaite 1907 tenancy particulars and 1900-1925 Land Commission sale files, and NLW third for diaries, maps, context, and transfer-list clues.

It verifies the current request routes, preserves the exact subject lines and bodies, and keeps the TCD `MSS 5960-5964` / Landed Estates `Ms.5960-5965` reference discrepancy visible.
• raw/ballyduhig-griffith-census-crosswalk-2026-05-26.md — 26 May 2026 Ballyduhig Griffith/census-substitute crosswalk. Headline finding: no full 1800s Ballyduhig household census schedule survives or is expected; the actionable substitute set is Griffith's Valuation 1852 plus four 1851 NAI census-search rows for Ballyduhig: Lovghnane, McKenna, Timothy Loughnane, and Elizabeth MacKenna. Adds the Timothy Loughnane PDF raw/nai-census-search-1851-ballyduhig-timothy-loughnane-patrick-catherine-mccarthy-007246690-01419.pdf.

Separates the directly proved child Thomas d.1870 from strong adult-household candidates Mary, Edmund/Edmond, Patrick, Jane, and Gerald/Garrett; keeps Elizabeth as possible/collateral; and treats James as a likely generation collision with James Gnaw b.1833 Ballyduhig. Adds the newly saved NAI Rathea census-search PDF raw/nai-census-search-1851-rathea-anne-larkin-james-jane-007246690-01432.pdf for Anne Larkin, daughter of James Larkin and Jane.
• raw/foynes-mckenna-1901-1911-census-2026-05.md — NAI 1901 + 1911 Census of Ireland Foynes-area sweep. Headline finding: the docx's vernacular "South Cappa / South Ballynash" McKenna home is identified as Mounttrenchard, Loghill DED, Co. Limerick — house 7 (1901, record 1514033) / house 1 (1911, record 642725). Later civil-register passes verify the South Cappa line and correct the 1911 image reading: Hanna had completed 20 years of marriage, with 7 children born alive and 7 living.
• raw/foynes-marriage-record-search-2026-05.md — May 2026 follow-up pursuing the marriage record of James McKenna senior + Margaret Sheahan and Margaret's death record. This note is now partly superseded: the 24 May 2026 IrishGenealogy pass found Margaret's likely South Cappa death in 1886 and James's likely South Cappa death in 1888, plus six Ballynash births naming Margaret formerly Sheahan. The James + Margaret marriage itself still has not been obtained remotely. Three substantive supporting findings remain: (1) Mount Trenchard is Lord Monteagle's (Spring Rice) demesne, so the McKennas were tenants of the Monteagle estate. (2) The correct NLI parish IDs for the Foynes-area RC parishes are pinned: Shanagolden 0866, Loughill 0886, Glin 0884. Loughill RC parish was carved out of Glin in 1855. (3) The Monteagle Papers at NLI remain a high-value Dublin trip target for rent rolls naming the McKenna tenancy.

This is now a rejected control record for the Mounttrenchard line: later civil records prove the correct wife was Joanna / Hanna Cummane, not Johanna Healy.

• raw/three-leads-pursued-2026-05-08.md — May 8 2026 work on three priority leads. (#1) Foynes-area townland sweep complete: 38 townlands swept across Shanagolden / Loghill / Iveruss DEDs; Mounttrenchard is the SOLE McKenna household. Its "four unaccounted-for siblings" wording is now partly superseded by the 24 May 2026 civil-register pass. (#2) Shanagolden baptism register browse: located right page-ranges for Thomas-1860, Philip Joseph-1862, Edward-1873 baptisms; could not OCR specific entries due to NLI IIPImage resolution cap. Tangential substantive finding: 16 March 1873 baptism in Shanagolden RC parish of Elizabetham ex Thoma Guinaw et Brigida Kenny — a separate McKenna family (Thomas + Bridget Kenny, not James + Margaret Sheahan), unidentified relationship to our line, gone by 1901. (#3) Bessie M. m. Troy 1871 marriage: located in NLI Listowel parish 0678 register vtls000634342 image 134-135; not OCR'd at the resolution cap. Workflow established: NLI IIPImage &CVT=jpeg parameter returns ~300 KB JPEG of register pages, suitable for reading printed page-headers (year/month) but not OCR of handwritten entries — useful for locating right page-ranges before an in-person NLI Reading Room visit.

Convention

Every file in ../raw/ begins with YAML frontmatter recording:

• source_url — the original URL.
• fetched — the date the content was captured.
• fetch_method — how it was captured (webfetch, user-pasted, etc.), so the reader knows whether the raw file is a direct machine capture or a human transcription.
• subject / note — short description of what's in the file.

Synthesis, interpretation, and inference belong in the wiki pages (this folder) — never in the raw files.
