Welcome! If this is your first visit to our blog, please read our Intro post here. To date we have written posts about all known members of the first, second, and third generations of descendants of William Loney of Co Longford, Ireland, their spouses, and their spouses’ families.
If you are looking for information on someone in particular, you can use the “Search” feature in the upper right hand corner of this page.
We hope that the information you find here will be helpful to you in your genealogical research, lead you to an “aha” moment, or help you find a missing ancestor or branch of your family tree. And, we have loved hearing from everyone who has contacted us.
While we make every effort to ensure that what we post is accurate (based on source documents or “reliable” family information), we would be silly to think that we haven’t made any mistakes. If you run across one, please, please, please let us know so we can correct it.
If you are planning a trip to Ireland, visit our section on What to do in Ireland. It provides a brief overview of where you might go and what you might do if you are interested in genealogical research on the Loney Family.
Finally, we remain forever optimistic that someone out there will contact us because they have old Loney family photos to share. We would be especially thrilled to have one of William, Charles, John or Robert Loney or their sister, Ann Loney Cunningham. We are waiting to hear from you!

This week we have a humorous clipping about Judson’s brother, John Black. For a time, John and Judson were in business together after purchasing the stock of D. Mills & Son’s store. And, as with any business, there were ups and downs…
