Hi Ron,
I have a Catherine Begen who was born in Ireland in 1865. She married Thomas Crilly on the 21st February 1882 in Irvine Scotland and her parents are listed as Thomas Begen and Bridget Clarke.
She died on the 2nd November 1902 and her parents are listed as John Beggan and Bridget S____
In the Vital Records Index-British Isles they have the following children for a John Began and Biddy Clarke.
All born in Ballybay, Monaghan, Ireland
John, 4th November 1865, (Mother's name is Bridget Clarke)

John,

Appreciate your help. It does not appear we are from the same "clan."

My grandfather was Thomas Beagan, from Greaghawarren, County Fermangh. He came to USA in 1896 and settled in Rhode Island. He came with his mother Catherine Beagan.

I have "mixed signals" on my grandmother Margaret (O'Hara) Beagan. I have indications that she was born in County Leitrim and County Longford. I had Leitrim search for her birth certificate with negative results; so I will pursue the Longford information.

The name Beagan, is fairly uncommon, and I have placed some inquiries on the forums to see if I can't find some help exploring my Irish roots.

Thanks for your reply, Ron Beagan
