It has a town in it called Ballinamore where my family comes from, the McManus'. My greatgrandfather is called Patrick who married Catherine Murphy. They had many children and I believe one of the girls married a McGowen. Also spelt McGaurin I believe. Anyway, I have met a cousin who is a McGowen (Margaret) who lives in Dublin, now. Paddy McManus, her closer cousin to me, lives in Ballinamore still.<p><br>
