Well said Jim, Not everyone used the custom of sur-naming after the
paternal line. Take our own granddaughter who, for professional reasons,
retained her maiden name on marriage. Then, to compound the problem, her
daughter (our great granddaughter) was given her mother's surname
(better to call it family-name, I suppose, since 'sir' didn't convey
his) and not her father's. Haven't asked why and it's not that her
father had a strange name. So we continue to stumble along the family
genealogy line in our searches. 😊

Will,
Was your Mother's maiden name Rodgers and that is why Patrick
O'Shaughnessy changed his name to Rodgers? I visited Tyrone last
August and met several relatives, Rodgers and Maguire some of them
ended up in Philadelphia. Most of the my Rodgers' relatives ended up
in Ohio.

Hi, My name is will Rodgers, I am working on research for my father's
side of our family. His mother left Ireland somewhere between
1920-25. at about age 20+. She took an ocean liner from I believe
Galway port. She was bound for New York. She was to meet a family in
the US who lived in Patterson, New Jersey. Next I found she met a
Patrick O'Shaughnessy in Philadelphia. Patrick had a hard time
getting a job so he changed his last name to Rodgers. Susan, Mrs
Rodgers somehow acquired a small business deliverng Ice, and later
coal. She also renter out rooms in thieir house to earn money.
Would know where I may find any surviving relatives in the Tyrone
area? I moved from the US in 2019, and live in Lithuania. I could
easily visit in July if you find any information
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
