Forehane, Foran and similar
Kerry
I have just learned that the family called Forehand in North Carolina, USA, is Foran,etc. in Ireland. Someone on Ancestry made a reference that led me to Teernaboul, Co. Kerry.
My early ancestor was Cronelius Forehan who lived in North Carolinain 1715. He is on a tax list and lives in one area and had several children. He left a will when he died in 1728.
I was happy to see in Griffith's Valuation that there was still a Cornelius Forehane in Teernaboulin 1853.
My husbandsays we can come to Ireland in a year or two. I am so excited to know a place I can visit in Ireland that connects to my family.
Nice to meet you,
