Mary Rattican was my great grandmother from Elphin. I am not sure of the spelling of her last name (Ratican)? Her married name was Burke. Any information would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!
County Roscommon, or Ros Comáin in Irish, is located in the western region of Ireland. We are home to the stunning Lough Key Forest Park and statistically, we are known to have the longest life expectancy of any county in Ireland! We look forward to helping you connect with your ancestors’ place of origin.
