Francis Monahgan/Monahan married Margaret Goan/O'Goan likely from Tyrone

TyroneDrumragh (Tyrone)

Hello, First I want to thank you in advance for your assistance.

I am trying to figure out how I am connected to several of myDNA matches, I believe we are connected via my great Grandmother MargaretMonaghan Sweeney, Family lore says she wasfrom Tyrone.

Several of my DNA matches have indicated theirGreat Grand ParentswereFrancis Monaghan and Margaret O'Goan. This is a link to Catherine Monaghan McLaughlin Pennsylvania Death Certificateon Ancestry.comhttps://www.ancestry.com/interactive/5164/42342_2421406272_0812-02061/4324881?backurl=https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/162895056/person/122165246565/facts/citation/542236451572/edit/record

This weekend I searched onhttps://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/for any children ofFrancis and Margaret Monaghan (especially from the county Tyrone) and I only came up with Margaret and Bridget (no Catherine).

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1868/03430/2258779.pdffor Margaret Monaghan (possibly my Great Grandmother)

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1873/03210/2177267.pdflikely sister of Margaret (Bridget)

There may be another daughter named Ellen Monaghan (or she may be a cousin). I have several DNA Matches with her descendants also. I could not find her birth registry either with parents listed as Margaret Goan and Francis Monaghan (I did try multiple spelling of every name.

Iwas wondering if somebody with a tad bit more skils in usinghttps://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/could see if they could find Catherine's birth registry (and maybe Ellen's also)and any other children of Margaret and Francis. Also theirmarriage registration. Really any info on Margaret and Francis. I used the time frame from 1850 to 1880 for searching for the children and marriage and came up with the info listed above on Margaret and Bridget.

I do not believe the girls emigrated from Ireland together, but they all ended up here in Philadelphia, likely because there wasfamily here in Philadelphia.I have never found any immigration for them all together, just individuals' immigration.

Thanks again for your help.
