Would like to exchange information regarding the McDermotts of RATALLEN. My great grandfather Patrick Joseph McDermott, along with many of his Brothers and Sister, immigrated to New York in the 1880's and 1890's and left behind many of their family including a Sister ANNA and a Brother HUGH. Anna died in 1954 and Hugh in 1955 on the family farm in Ratallen. Neither Anna or Hugh had any children, and none of the brothers or sisters that stayed in Ireland had any children. Hugh and Anna had a number of cousins of the McDermott and Beirne surname that may have records concerning the McDermott's of Ratallen. I would be extremely greatful if anyone could help me locate any of the family that still reside in the Ratallen area or anyone who has information on this family. Would appreciate hearing from anyone on this request. Thanks, Brent
