This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YWC.2ACI/5415 Message Board Post: I am trying to locate records pertaining to my Hannan family, believed to have emigrated from the area surrounding Lough Gill, on the border with county Sligo, in 1845. I don't really have a hope of finding them in Church records, as their births seem to predate existing records, but I am hoping that they may be listed in estate records as tenant farmers. To do that I need to know the names of the owner(s) of the estate(s) in that vicinity prior to the famine era. I will then need to know where those estate records (if they exist) are located. If anyone can assist, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
