Elizabeth Kathleen McGowan

Boyle (Roscommon)

Good day, my name is Gretchen. I am a granddaughter of Elizabeth Kathleen McGowan. She was born in 1906 to Michael and Kate McGowan. I do know that Kate’s maiden name was Langan. My grandmother was put on a ship and sent to America when she was 18 due to poverty and the effects of the famine. I’m looking to see if anybody knows anyone that would be related to my grandmother. That would be wonderful! The best way to contact me is by my cell phone, which is 830-613-1229 or you can email me at godwin.gretchen@gmail.com. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Hope you have a lovely day.

Gretchen
