Leitrim Co. Board Date:04 Jan 2000 Time: 19:59:50 hi y'all ! a happy new millenium to everyone on here ! special thanx to jim gallagher for linking me to your "cuzzin" in cranston. t. has been especially helpful in my quest for the tague "holy grail" thanxxx jim. from so. texas, dick tague dicktague@hotmail.com Date: 07 Jan 2000 Time: 15:02:46 My name is Ray McWeeny and I live in Arlington Hts.IL a suburb of Chicago. My great grandfather migrated to the US from Leitrim in 1845. His name was James McWeeny. He arrived with his three sisters Mary, Ellen and Elizabeth. We know that Ellen and James eventually ended up in Wisconsin, but we have no record of Mary or Elizabeth. We think they may have stayed in New York. We know James was in upstate New York for a time on his way west. We think that all four arrived by way of Boston but we can't document it. Connected to your Web site while reading about a trip to Leitrim on the net. Just wanted to let you know there are many people in the Midwest whose origins are Leitrim. Date: 12 Jan 2000 Time: 19:40:20 I hope this society and many others in the Boston area are outraged by Rep. Storey's remarks blaming the Irish Catholics for the poor care of the mentally disabled! It is like going back years when all ills in the Boston society were blamed on the Irish. SPEAK UP! Date: 01 Mar 2000 Time: 00:44:00 Looking for connections to my great aunt Brigid Keegan (known as Beasie) born Jan. 17, 1868 in Eden Dowra (Ballenaglera)who immigrated to Boston (probably in the 1920's) possibly with another sibling. Either she or the sibling (if it were a sister) married a man named Donahue (or some variation) who had been living in Brooklyn. My aunt, Helen (Ellen, Nellie)lived with her/them when she first came, but after she moved to New York, where my mother (Mary Keegan) and their maternal aunt (Anne Jane Flynn Mulvey McNicolas) were living, all lost contact with them. Any Donahue/Keegans still in Boston ? Date: 01 Mar 2000 Time: 00:47:44 If you have Keegan/Donahue information that might match you can contact me at: sharon.bernstein@worldnet.att.net Date: 18 Apr 2000 We had a great time at the Leitrim Spring dance on Sunday, April 16th. It was a great chance to get everyone together and it was nice to see a huge support for County Leitrim in the Boston area. I look forward to the upcoming events. Keep up the good work on the Web site!!!! Date: 22 Apr 2000 Time: 16:47:17 Hi, I am glad I found your Web Site. Very well put together, hats off to the Web Master. My family origins are from Mohill, Co. Leitrim. I am re-searching my family(Gilmartin)and found many of the Leitrim Surnames in the other messages which tie through marriages to my family. I would be nice if some how we can connect to those other message originators. Loughlin would be one of many. I have a lot of information to share on Leitrim surmames tied to Gilmartin. Again, a very nice web Page and I will be back to visit often. You may contact me at: Regards, Gene Gilmartin - California GGilma4805@aol.com Date: 02 May 2000 Time: 22:07:30 Wonderful site! Loved reading the other entries also. Just returned from a marvelous journey to County Leitrim. Found a fourth cousin, Eamon Tubman, in Fenagh. Really felt at home wandering the roads around Ballinamore. People could not have been kinder! Expect to return again. Sorry I am not in the Boston area to go to your meetings. Will have to convince my brothers to go. Leitrim ancestors were from the Ballinamore area, maybe Dermahilty Beg. They, the Fees (mother Catherine was a Tubman), immigrated to Boston, settling in Hingham 1849-1853!

I was fortunate to be in Leitrim last weekend, but unfortunate I couldn't stay for any length of time, although stopped off at Cloone, Aughavas and Carrigallen. My father-in-law Larry Harahan is from Aughavas. Can anyone out there tell me the origin AND meaning of the name 'Harahan' ? I'm also trying to piece together bits of family details relating to Harahans which Larry has told me, and which I have obtained myself from graves in Aughavas and Carrigallen. If anyone has bits of family trees which include Harahans - or anything at all regarding the name - could they please give me the details by e-mail at ann.keltie@ntlworld.com?
