Welcome back to Ireland Reaching Out!
I searched for prior Foran messages in Co. Waterford and the only one I could locate was a message that you posted in 2013. Hopefully, someone else with Foran connections will comment on your message. Have you considered autosomal DNA testing?

Thanks Roger! Yes, done DNA.
Mike-
Have you shared your DNA results on GEDmatch or through Wikitree?
I believe that we have been in touch in the past re: Foran/ Kennedy connection.

I visted Clonea Power two years ago and am going back again in a few weeks. David Kennedy and I have continued to build our research based upon the Kennedys of Clonea/ Rathgormcak/ Mayfield Rocketcastle / Portlaw / Tinhalla / Carrickbeg
I found the Foran plot in a local cemetery that are connected to our Connecticut Foran (Glenhouse) branch.
Hi. A Mary Foran was married to James Skehan in Graigueavalla, Rathgormack. She was born in 1764 and passed away 18 November 1813. This is as far back as I can go in our family tree. According to a headstone in Carrick Beg where she is buried more of my ancestors are interred there but there are no names. Any help would be appreciated
I should have said that my side of the family is the Skehan side
Thanks Micasa! Is your tree on Ancesry.com? Any way to view it, see if maybe possible connection Foran side?
Hi Micasa, I am a direct descendant of James and Mary (Foran) Skehan and are researching my family history. It would be nice to get in touch. My email is shaun_skehan@hotmail.com
