Curran

Hi, My inquiry is actually about Annascaul but I could not find a mesage board for that area. My gr grandfather Patrick Curran was born in Annascaul in 1834. The baptisim record I have says that he was baptized in March 1834 in Dromvalley. His parents were Patrick Curran and Mary Connor. His father Patrick was the oldest of nine children of John Curran. (some records are Currane or Curren). I will be in Dingle in a week and a half and wondering if anyone has any knowledge of Currans still in that area or can give me an idea on how to find Dromvalley. I have been to the area before, but did not have the information that I have now and traveling with a group it is sometimes hard to get out exploring on my own. We always stop at the South Pole Inn and someone once told me that Dromvalley was behind there and over the hill. I have of course been to Curran's Pub, but when I was there it was too crowded and loud to talk to anyone, but I will be staying right up the street from there and intend to visit again when it's a bit quieter. My grandfather was also a James Curran. My gr grandfather came here to the states in about 1860 along with a brother & sister and settled in Massachusetts. They were later joined by my gr gr grandfather who lived to be 105. Any information or insight would be greatly appreciated.

My Best,

Diane Curran Richard
