[Thomas Schmidt]

I 'THINK' I may of tracked down my MORAN line to the townland of Drumgowla in Co. Leitrim.<p>Looking for any connection to a James (Michael) MORAN b. abt. 1853 who married Bridget BEIRNE b. abt. 1855.<p>Children:<br>Kate, Susan Eileen (my gg-grandm., Bridget, Margaret, Michael, Joseph, John, Anne, Alice.<p>May be more children.<p>Most of this family immigrated to the US (New York) in 1903. Manifest says they were headed to Worcester, Mass, but in 1920, Bridget (1855) and some children were living in NYC.<br>Thanks for any help.<br>Tom<br>RAIL269@cs.com <p>

I am related to the Guckian's of Drumgowla. <br>My G-Grandmother was Mary Jane Guckian. Her father was Thomas. She married John Geheran and they lived in Lisbrockan, now Drumshanbo. They had a daughter Anne Jane Geheran who married Michael McLoughlin in NYC (1924). They are my paternal grandparents. In the same general area on my mother's side I have my g-g-grandparents a Patrick Conry of Annaduff and Mary Beirne. I have not established what town Mary was from. They were married in 1856 in Annaduff.<br>I'll see if I can track down the Moran connection.

I have been trying to track this family for years and any thing you can dig up will be most appreciated. The daughter Susan Moran married by gg-grandf. Michael Ryan. The Ryan's were from Strokestown, Roscommon, but I going nuts pinpointing these Moran's/Beirne's. Even made a special trip to Ireland 2 years ago to find Moran/Beirne in Leitrim. Found alot of maybe's, but nothing definent.<p><br>
