Information on these pages was gathered from the website shown below. Our connection to the Hunt Family is via Maggie Lyons sister of 'our' Kate Lyons (our grandmother, great grandmother, great, great grandmother).

Maggie Lyons married William Hunt in 1907. There is a wealth of information and lots of pictures on the website so I won't repeat it here. Click on the link, then click on the Hunt Family.

If the link above does not work for you , you can see Mr. Billy King's Family History by clicking on the link on the left. But.. there are no photos there.

There are lots of old photos and perhaps you might remember hearing some of the names. Mr. Billy King  did a wonderful job of writing his family history. The Hunt family settled mostly in Chicago and were a great help to the Byrnes that came from Ireland all those years ago.

Here is what I gleaned from Bill's family history. I added the (generation number) as the first names were passed from father to son to help me keep track of who is who.
