To Pat Traynor - tray@goskywest.com G'day from Australia, Pat. Does your Donaghmoyne book mention any Morans ?? My Great Grandfather, Francis Moran, was born in Carrickmacross in 1829 - according to his (West Australian) death certificate but Theo McMahon was unable to find any records when he searched a few years ago. Any leads would be appreciated.
