    1. Fallons of Roscommon

    3. I am looking for any information about the Fallons of Roscommon whose ancestral seat was a castle in Milltown near the modern town of Dysart in the old Athlone Barony in Co Roscommon in the late 1500s early 1600s. On Mar 3, 2003 a poster by the name of 'OLeoghain' sent the following message to this group.... "According to Ida Grehan - Dictionary of Irish Names - it is properly spelled Falloon or in Irish Gaelic รณ Fallamhain. It is common in the Athlone area in southern Roscommon. The family had a castle in Dysart in 1595. It is now common in Ulster and also spelled Fullen. " With regard to this quote, I would be keen to learn the publication date of the first edition of this book, and any source information relevant to the Roscommon Fallons which may be listed in the indices. I am looking for this information because I have a friend named Fallon who is visiting Ireland shortly and we are going to co Roscommon to try and track down the castle ruins. This particullar castle is not a tourist attraction, so I am trying to get as much information together as possible before going, because there ain't going to be a gloosy brochure about its former glories to read when we get there. If anyone has any info at all I would be very grateful indeed for their help. Many thanks and best regards Mike
