These are my direct Burns ancestors back to John Burns and his wife Mary Dempsey of Shanagolden, County Limerick, Ireland (see map of Ireland). I have not listed multiple spouses or siblings. If you know anything about this branch of the Burns family, particularly about ancestors before John, please send me email and let me know. Click on the small images to see larger versions.

In 1994, my relative Janet Quinn Freyberg visited Shanagolden and sent us there photos of the ancestral Burns homestead.

used as a tool shed by the members of the Burns family still living
on the property.

This house is quite a bit more spacious than the earlier cottage!
