My name is Andrea Sweaney Kennedy. I have been researching my family since 2000.  Since then, I have gathered thousands of records and sources which have helped me  build my family tree all the way back to middle ages.

The Sweaneys came from Ireland and it is fact, not proven, that they were descendants  of Hugeunots, French protestant reformers, exiled to Ireland. The earliest Sweaney of  record was Daniel Seaney/Sene/Seney who came to America in 1664. His wife, sons --  Bryant and Denis (and possibly more), settled in Maryland.

Eventually, the Sweaney Family settled in Frederick County, Maryland before going  into Pennyslvania and then to Ohio, where many settled in Rose and New Philadelphia,  before spreading themselves out into the mid-west (Kansas) and west (Texas, Idaho,  Oklahoma, Washington).

I was born in Colorado, where some of the Sweaney family still live today and now I  live in Florida. I enjoy connecting with family, especially anyone connected with  Sweaneys (which I have made many long lost connections). If you are connected or just  simply researching, please contact me at the link above.
