ROOTS FAMILY HistorIES

The Roots website is dedicated to the descendants and families of Michael and Mary Quigley Cleary, James and Sarah Tobin Murphy, and Cornelius (Con) and Mary Evans Hayes. Clicking on one of the modules below will take you to the assembled histories of each family.

What follows on these pages is the work of several family historians, chief among them Mary Stack, Robert Joseph Cleary, Charlene Kimpler, Larry Wallace, John Brown, Derrick Jones and many, many other cousins who have contributed their family stories and remembrances over the years.

It is hoped that as the original Cleary Roots Gathering website sunsets, this website will become both an archive for those materials, but also a living monument to the Cleary ancestors before us. New submissions are both encouraged and welcomed!
