[John Luke Gilgannon]

Hiya Katania<p>I think I might be one of your distant cousins. I'm from the Liverpool side of the Gilgannons. I'm 33 and I've done quite a bit of research on the Gilly tree over the years. It's difficult to find out much from Eire as most of the documents going back were destryoyed due to a fire at the central records office. I was inspird to look up the Gilgannons because I've never met a Gilgannon who wasn't one of my direct blood cousins. Here's what I have anyway.<p>Gil means 'servant of...' in Celtic and Gannon is one of the 114 original Irish clan names. Michael Gilgannon and Mary-Anne Kauntz came to England in 1859 from Balladereen. This was my Grandfather's mum and dad. They had seven sons: Michael, James, John, Dennis, and I don't know the rest. Myself and all the Gilly's who live around Liverpool are all from this line of the family. My dad came from Michael and an English woman; as well as Uncle Dennis and Auntie Anne. By the way, Liverpool is in the County of Merseyside in the Northwest of England. Merseyside ws set up in the early 1900s for the immigrant Irish. Before the boundary changes, parts of Merseyside were in 'Lancashire' which is to the west of Yorkshire.<p>There are about 26 different septs of the family Gilgannon in Great Britain - I don't know the exact number because the last time I checked via a geneaology detective was back in 98. If you have any more info plesae pass it on. Wish you well in your research.<p>JJ<p>

[Patricia Caslin Freda]

My father born in Stokestown, county Roscommon in 1906, and passed away in April, 2000 (Luke E. Caslin). He is one of 11 brothers and sisters, 9 boys, 2 girls. The sisters are alive and I believe 2-3 brothers. Only three left Stokestown to move to U.S. I am trying to make contact with Caslins still left in Stokestown which would include many cousins which I have not met. Grandparents Francis and Ellen Caslin. I know that uncles owned businesses and horse/cattle breed businesses in same area they grew up in.
