Irish Families Identified in the St. Joseph Church, South Bend, Indiana Records with Surnames J-L
Keep in mind that this is a work in progress. I am documenting only the families with an identifiable Irish Surname (using irishtimes.com and a variety of other resources to determine this) in this section.
There is a Jacques/ Henri family in the St. Joseph Church records that I have not included here because I believe they are french. Jacques was rarely seen in County Down and Henry can be an Irish surname as well. If this is your family please contact me about this family.
Regarding Surname Johnston: Gulielmus Brennan sponsored the baptism of Patricum Francisum Johnston on October 12, 1884.
Regarding Surname Joice or Joyce: Anna Fraan was one of the sponsors for the baptism of William Joice. (The Frains traveled with Martin Brennan, my second great grandfather, to South Bend, Indiana. I am unsure if this is the same family). Josephus and Nellie Frain sponsored the baptism of Elizabeth Joyce on April 4, 1885.
Regarding Surname Kelly: Joannes Aloysius Kelly who was baptised on November 21, 1886 married Sophie Elam St. Joseph Church, January 27, 1946. Joseph Patrick Kelly, born December 4, 1889 was married here (St Joseph Church?) to Martha? E Ellis on October 12, 1944.
Regarding Surname Lafortune: Louis La Fortune married Madeline Dora Wolf on June 2, 1946? in Holy Family Church, Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Regarding Surname Lonergan: Julie Lonergan, daughter of Jacobo Lonergan and Phoebe Smith married Frank Mc Comb on April 4, 1953 at St Mathew's Church, South Bend, Indiana.
Regarding Surname Love: Love is listed as an Irish surname so this family has been included in the compilation. (infidel) is listed after Grove G Love's name.
