Hi Maryanne, My RYAN's are from Graig-na-Manach, and my g-grandfather's name is James Joseph. Is there anything I can do to find out if it is he who is on your list? I have names and dates of his children, etc.. but I need a shove in the right direction. Thanks, Cathy in Tampa Ongoing Surname Searches as of 10/2003 A U S T I N, D R I S C O L L, F U L L E R, K O Z I S K I, K U P E C Z, M C L E N D O N, M U R P H Y, N A G L E, R U P P E R T, R Y A N, S T E P H E N S, W I L L I A M S, W A L L A

Sorry Cathy I can't help you further. I listed what the book has, I have no additional information.

Cathy, The James Ryan that Maryanne listed for 1876 owned 573 acres valued at £408 a year! Reckon one head of cattle per acre and you will see that he is some wealthy man! Does that seem likely? As you know, Ryans are very difficult to research but if you give us more information on dates and what locations you already have then someone on the list may be able to give you a gentle shove as you ask. By the way Foulkrath Castle is now a Youth Hostel (no longer limited to youth) - €13 Euro (15 US$) per night!
