Rooney Family Tree

I am Alice Brooks (Mikalan's mom). We work on the Ancestry together.
I am attaching a picture I have that came from my grandma's stuff (I call it the cigar box because that is where we found a bunch of pictures of her family). My Grandmother is Agatha Darcy Vinecore (daughter of John and Sarah Darcy). She was the youngest of their children and her mother, Sarah, died when Agatha was young (a year or less I believe). Agatha was then pretty much raised by her older sister, Sarah (boy....those Sarah's get confusing!!). I have several pictures of the John/Sarah Darcy children that I would be willing to share if you like. Agatha Darcy's name was actually Cuthburt Agatha Darcy and her family called her "Cute" but somewhere along the line she switched it to Agatha Cuthburt Darcy and aside from some very early census, she is listed as Agatha (and went into the military as Agatha Darcy in WWI).

Mary Ann Rooney married Dennis Egan. Mary Ann would have been an aunt to Alice's grandmother Agatha Cuthbert Darcy.
