Hi I am trying to find out where in Ireland the family came from. James Behan was born on April 23, 1838 to Micheal Behan and Margueriter ( not sure of the last name, but some one has it as Moffat ) He came over to Philidialipia in 1842 and ended up in Ontario, Canada in 1860. I have found other information on James Behan, but nothing on Micheal Behan and Margueriter. Sheila Behan >

Hallo Sheila - I have looked through the (8) volumes of " the search for Missing friends" in reference to Behan/vars I noticed that with the exception of two refs all of the others were from co Clare - there was one from Tipperary - and one from Kildare There were a number of refs. to a Michael Behan but could not line them up with the info you have given - Hope this helps in some way glad to help if I can Joan Williams Killarney Victoria Australia ----- Original Message ----- From: norman behan <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, 25 January 2003 03:56 AM Subject: Re: [IRL~ROOTS] Behan > Hi > > I am trying to find out where in Ireland the family came from.
