Missing Morans

Hi Geoff:

Many thanks for your post to the Ireland Reaching Out message board.  I am going to forward this post to a volunteer in nearby Gort who may be able to assist you with your research.  

If you have any further questions, please let me know.

All the best,

 

Jane

Hi de Lourdes

Thanks for taking the time to help with my research. All these small details make a difference, and will help me progress my research. I have attached Patrick's death certificate, so you can see the names of his children. There was a child Mary, so the one you mention could well be Patrick's mother.

It's taken quite some research here in the antipodes to make the connection with Kinvara, but now I have a place I have somewhere to aim for when I come to Ireland. I don't yet have a trip planned and never been to Ireland, but one day I do want to make that physical connection and try and understand why my ancestors came to Australia. I'm thinking the famine must have been a major reason. I have this vision of exploring graveyards and maybe discovering some ancestors that way, but I suppose if they were poor people, there may not even be gravestones.

Thanks again

Geoff Moran
