| | Manuscript Collection | Save | | 2 | Title: | Catherine Leneghan Papers
| | | | Creator: | Leneghan, Catherine | | | | Dates: | 1969-2002 | | | | Abstract: | Catherine Leneghan (b. 1964) was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and is of Irish descent. Both sides of her family originated in County Mayo, Ireland. Her father, Francis Leneghan came from Ballycroy, County Mayo, Ireland, and married Catherine O'Donnell, who is also of Irish descent. Catherine's maternal grandparents are Julia Conway, who hailed from Tourmekeady, County Mayo, and James O'Donnell who came from Islandeady, County Mayo. Her paternal grandparents, Ellen Sweeney came from Innisbiggle, Achill Island, County Mayo, and Francis Leneghan came from Ballycroy, County Mayo. Living in a traditional Irish family upbringing, Catherine was associated with things Irish from an early age. Like so many other Irish on Cleveland's west side, she attended St. Patrick's Grade School in Westpark, Cleveland, and subsequently was a student of St. Joseph's Academy, also in Westpark. She received a degree in Psychology at Cleveland State University. But Catherine's real love was of Irish music and dance. She pursued her career in this field, passing the TCRG exam and the ADCRG exam in the early 1990s. She has not looked back since. Her school, The Leneghan Academy of Traditional Irish Dance has been a success since it opened its doors in 1991. The collection consists of biographical information, newspaper clippings, and photographs. | | | | Call #: | MS 4942 | | | | Extent: | 0.20 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Leneghan, Catherine, 1964- | Leneghan Academy of Traditional Irish Dance. | Irish Americans -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Irish Americans -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Social life and customs. | Dance -- Ireland. | Cleveland (Ohio) -- Emigration and immigration -- 20th century. | Ireland -- Emigration and immigration -- 20th century.

| | | | Creator: | Boland, Sean A. | | | | Dates: | 1995-2000 | | | | Abstract: | Sean A. Boland (1943-2000) was born in Manchester, England. At two years of age, his family moved to Gurteen, County Sligo, Ireland. After his mother Margaret Boland died, he was adopted by his uncle and his wife, James, and Bridie Boland. This family immigrated to Cleveland, Ohio, when Sean was twelve years old. Sean graduated from St. Joseph High School and married Bridget Ginty, and together they had three children. Sean joined the Ohio Lottery Commission in 1974, working as an investigator, marketing director, and lastly as a fiscal officer in the purchasing department. Sean was involved in the Irish community during his short life. His uncle, Gus Boland, introduced him to Irish dancing, and together they organized an annual Cleveland Feis. In later years, Sean was president of the Greater Cleveland Feis Society, and he is credited with making it the largest such society in North America. Sean led the Cleveland Feis for seventeen years, and also served on the North American Feis Commission as President and board member. He was the driving force behind the establishment of the Irish Music Academy of Cleveland in 1993 and was an avid supporter of the Cleveland Branch of the Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann (Music, Language and Dance of Ireland). Sean was a member of the Irish American Archives Society, the Irish Northern Aid Society, the Irish American East Side, Inc., the West Side Irish American Club, the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Comhaltas Ceoltiori Eireann, Cleveland Branch, and the Cleveland Irish Cultural Festival Committee. In 1994, he was named Irish Person of the Year. During the last ten years of his life, he made annual trips to Gurteen and became involved in establishing the Michael Coleman Heritage Center. In Cleveland, Sean was instrumental in planning the Cleveland Memorial in the Flats, in memory of those who died in the Great Famine. The collection consists of correspondence, a biographical sketch, a Liturgy, a memorial, an obituary, a souvenir program and a tribute. | | | | Call #: | MS 4880 | | | | Extent: | 0.20 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Boland, Sean A., 1943-2000. | Folk music -- Ireland. | Irish Americans -- Societies, etc. | Irish Americans -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- History -- Sources. | Irish Americans -- Ohio -- East Cleveland -- History -- Sources. | Irish Americans -- Archives. | Dance -- Ireland. | Irish Americans -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Social life and customs. | Music -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Cleveland (Ohio) -- Emigration and immigration -- History -- 20th century. | United States -- Emigration and immigration -- 20th century. | Ireland -- Emigration and immigration -- 20th century.
