She is not only a member of the Society, but also has the disctinction of being a Regional Chieftan of Clan Cian. She has held this honored position for many years, having been appointed by Eile O'Carrol, Hereditary Chief of Clan Cian. Marilyn has done considerable Irish Genealogical research and has lectured to our Society on several occasions. I don't recall at the moment whether she is currently subscribed to this list or not. You will find contact information for her at Clan Cian's web site, on the officers page http://www.clancian-carroll.com/officers.html Visiting http://www.clancian-carroll.com/ will bring you to the home page for the Clan Cian, which may be of general interest.
