Leitrim-Roscommon

Here is some EllisIsland.org information on the McGoverns from Keenheen, Parish Drumreilly, Co. Leitrim...4 miles South East of Ballinamore. (My ancestors were from the Ballinamore area and emigrated during the potato famine. I have been trying to tie to other McGoverns from the area, but have had no luck. The McGoverns from Keenheen share alot of the same given names and might be related. I am trying to locate McGoverns from there.)
