Hello Sue,I'm sorry to tell you that just before becoming engaged to my dear husband of 48 years I learned that his grandfather came from Slovakia and had his name changed at Ellis Island from Moravansky/Moranski to Moran! But, he does look like a tall Irishman!!! Best...Mary Ellen. P.S. When you get a chance would love to know if we have some Burkes in common. We are also expecting to be snowbound tomorrow! > From: [email protected] > Date: Mon, 18 Mar 2013 12:33:25 -0400 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [BEARA] Massachusetts and Rhode Island Beara settlers > > Hi, Mary Ellen, are you any relation to Morans of "some where" in Kerry, Glamorgan, Wales and then New Haven, CT?
