I JUST FOUND OUT FROM THE `MAYO NORTH FAMILY HERITAGE CENTRE`ATBALLINA CO.MAYO ABOUT MY GRANDFATHER AND GRANDMOTHER (JOHN REGAN
AND MARY (MURRAY)REGAN. THEY WERE MARRIED IN THE PARISH OF
CHARLESTOWN IN THE YEAR 1862,AND THEIR SON THOMAS WAS BORN
THERE TEN MONTHS LATER.I KNOW THIS TO BE EXACT AS THOMAS (MY
UNCLE) WAS BORN ON NOV.24,1862 AS PER RECORDS HERE IN BALTIMORE,MD. MY GRANDFATHER HAD BROTHERS AND SISTERS-CATHERINE REGAN (DUFFY),DOMINICK REGAN,JAMES REGAN,MARY REGAN AND JOHN REGAN (GRANDFATHER) THE MURRAYS ARE FROM CHARLESTOWN,MAYO AND THE REGANS WERE FROM THE TOWNLAND OF
CAPPULCORRAH IN THE NEIGHBORING PARISH OF CARRACASTLE. MY
GREAT-GRANDFATHER AND GREAT-GRANDMOTHER WERE JAMES AND ANNE
REGAN.
IF ANYONE HAPPENS TO HAVE ANY CONNECTION TO THIS CLAN
I WOULD BE VERY HAPPY TO HEAR FROM THEM. THE PARISH OF CARRACASTLE IS ABOUT TEN MILES FROM KNOCK AIRPORT.
