    2. Peggy, Nice to hear from you again but this has now become a bit spooky. I always felt that we were searching the same families. My GG grandparents were Swift gaelic FODAGHAN My g grandparents Lynch and Quigley.My memory says that these are your names as well. Swift is a very old Fermanagh name but not one that I have seen on this list before. They came from Galoon Parish, townland Cornagague, which is between Rosslea and Newtownbutler. My gg grandparents were Charles and Catherine Swift , g grandparents Mary Ann Swift and Luke Lynch. My gg Uncle John Quigley but then I have always thought that we were searching the same families. You have never mentioned the Swift connection before...incidentally also known by the gaelic name FODAGHAN which was actually used in census records in 1841. They married into the Beggan family right down through the generations to my mother's sister, my aunt Lizzie. I will be delighted to save you the trouble of searching for this certificate and get it for you.My instinct tells me that This is my maternal grandmother's Margaret Carolan's ancesters so it will be a pleasure. mind you if you are related to her you must be quite a character. an irreverant sense of humour and an absolute lady.
