TINA ...... More on the Costello's from fellow internet'ers. --------- Forwarded message ---------- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2001 16:57:43 -0500 Subject: Costello family from the North East England Message-ID: <[email protected]> . The COSTELLOs and COSTELLOEs are the decendents of the Anglo-Norman name de Nangle, who arrived soon after the "conquest" (read, year 1066), and settled in Connacht. The name is recorded in the "Annals of the Four Masters", with references, dating from the year 1193, when the name had changed to Oistealb. The name futher evolved to MacGoisdelbh and subsequently, to MacGoisdealbh. Later anglicized to MacCostello. Their stronghold was established in the Barony of Costello, near Ballaghaderreen then in Co Mayo, but now in Co Roscommon. From: [email protected]: [email protected]: 17 Jul 2001 20:44:44 -0600Subject: [welcome] Re: Family nameLois:Am not at all resistive to Italian ties in the name, however all verified sources state that the name came into Ireland through the Cambro(Welsh)-Norman knight, Gilbert deAngulo (I take note of the deAngulo reference in your E-Mail). Gilbert deAngulo was Norman, and was one of Richard DeClaire's vassals, His ancestors were from Normandy, and came with William the Conqueror in the Norman Invasion of England in 1066. He settled in Angle, Pembrokshire in Wales, and in 1172 came with Richard deClaire, Earl of Pembroke to Ireland in response to the pleas for help from Dermod MacMorrough. King of Lienster. He was awarded lands in Lienster, and his grandson, Costelo Oge deAngelo, known as "MacOisdealbh" (in Gaelic) participated in the invasion of Connaught in 1235, where he founded the Norman Barony of MacOisdealbh in Co. Mayo. "MacOisdealbh" was later Anglicised to MacCostello. All this is verified in the Annals of the Four Masters, and other similarly confirmed sources.None-the-less, I would be interested in receiving any information which you might have, that would refute the above. An open mind is a good thing to have!You can respond directly to me at: [email protected]/ Regards: Bob Costello Ed: One of my Costello correspondents sent me the information you have developed on the ancient origins of our family name. I have been doing a lot of research on this subject, both on the internet and by visiting the University of Notre Dame library in South Bend recently. Basically you have the general background of the Costello name, except it is somewhat garbled. I have cross-checked through a number of sources, including Notre Dame's extensive collection of rare Irish books. The following is the history of our name confirmed through a number of sources: In the lare 1160s two Irish kings, Dermot MacMorrough of Leinster, and Tiernan O"Rourke were feuding over O"Rourke's wife. O"Rourke, with the help of King Rory(?) O"Connor of Connaught got the upper hand, and MacMorrough fled to England seeking the help of Henry II, King of England. Henry was busy fighting with the King of France over his holdings in Normandy, and referred MacMorrough to his Cambro (Welsh) Norman lords is Wales, particularly Richard DeClaire, Earl of Pembroke, commonly known as "Strongbow". MacMorrough offered Strongbow his daughter's hand in marriage plus the successorship to his Kingdom in Leinster. Strongbow saw this as chance to obtain a Kingship in Ireland, out from under the heavy hand of Henry II, plus marriage to MacMorrough's very beautiful daughter; so he gathered together a group of his fellow Cambro(Welsh)-Norman vassals, and invaded Ireland to help MacMurrough. These Normans invaded Ireland in five waves between 1168 and 1172. Among the Norman knights assisting Strongbow was Gilbert deAngulo, from Angle in Pembrokshire, and his two sons, Jocelyn and Costelo deAngulo. The deAngulos settled in Co. Meath (in Leinster) and established Baronies there after their successful invasion. In 1235, a group of young Norman lords from Leinster decided to invade Connaught (northwestern Ireland) where they defeated one of O"Connor's decendants, and established baronies. Many of these Normans intermarried with the lrish, and, as the old saying went "became more Irish than the the Irish themselves", speaking Gaelic instead of French-Norman. One of these young lords was called by his Gaelic name "MacOisdealbh", meaning "Son of Costelo". He was the grandson of Gilbert deAngulo. By that time the deAngulos were known as "Nangle" in Ireland (This probably was because they came from Angle in Wales). MacOisdealbh established a barony in Co Mayo (in Connaught), which lasted for almost 400 years. Eventually the name "MacOisdealbh" became angelicized to "MacCostello" and ultimately the "Mac" was dropped. (The Costellos were the first of the Norman invaders to adopt the "Mac" prefix by the way). This is basically the origins of our name. Hope this helps you in your work on our name. Regards: Bob Costello Breckenridge,CO P.S. Incidentally, my grandfather Michael J. Costello came to America from Kilkelly, Co. Mayo in about 1877, and settled in Racine, Wisconsin, so we are probably distantly related. TINA ...........

John, this is my new email address,sorry for not makinmg this known,as you may have guessed I have been researching our Gavan/Gavin/Gaven etc family from Mayo for many years and have collected all info on every family that I could to eventually make into a database for other researchers but you are probably aware in this genealogy hobby it is really an obsession! and the more you find the more you want to know so the data base languishes in the cupboard, but I am happy to help/share any Gavan/Gavin etc searchers with whatever I have. Today in Australia its Melbourne cup the biggest horse race eevry second Tuesday of November, the entire nation stops literally, even when I was a kid at school forty years ago the nuns would stop and put on the radio to hear " the cup" Bestv wishes. Ray Gavan.

Ray Gavan Sorry to ask you this way for your address but my server wil not down load all of the mayo query`s from rootsweb. I would like to reply to your inquiry about garvins?garvens etc. thank you john garven researching in mayo Garven, Keane, Rilely, Docherty

I am seeing a potential problem with the Ellis Island Records as my Mulderig cousins gave Kiltimagh as the last place of permanent residence. When I started this project, a new-found Mulderig cousin told me that his father was from Kiltimagh. In fact, the Mulderigs live in Altbaun, Bohola parish, about 4 miles from the middle of Kiltimagh. The problem is that the records for the Mulderigs are all held in Bohola parish. I would not have found them if I had followed that cousin's lead. The best lead was from a woman in Middlesex who responded to my letter to the editor of the Western People telling me to look in Bohola. Her mother-in-law was a Mulderig. My grandparents emigrated to St. Louis separately, she in 1881 and he in 1882, and married in 1883. For all I knew, they met in St. Louis. However, research brought me to the conclusion that they had grown up within the proverbial 5-mile courting circle. He was from Garryroe, Kiltimagh parish, two miles as the crow flies from Altbaun. Is any one looking for MULDERIG, CLARKE, GALLAGHER, FORDE in Bohola and Kiltimaagh? I have quite a collection of names and dates of births and marriages to share. Ellen

I received a Family History Book from the N. Mayo History Ctr. and thought I'd share some of it's contents as I have seen the FOY name on the list lately. My gr-gr-grandparents were Martin FOY b. 1821 m. to Catherine BRENNAN. They lived in Swinford, Co. Mayo. Witnesses to their marriage were Thomas Griffin and Bridgid Fox. They had the following children: Patrick b. Jan. 1859, Collagh died as an infant John b. June 1861, Collagh Matthew b. Dec. 1862, Collagh Mary b. Jan. 1865, Lisanumera Patrick b. Nov. 1866, Lisanumera (married Mary Healy) Bridget b. June, 1867, Lisanumera died as an infant Ann or Katie b. Aug., 1868, Lisanumera died an an infant Bridget b. Feb. 1870, Lisanumera Catherine b Oct. 1871, Lisanumera Eleanor (Ellen) b. Aug. 1873, Lisanumera (my gr-grandmother) Martin b. Oct. 1876 Ellen FOY came to the US with at least 2 sisters (Mary and Bridgid) and settled in Schenectady, NY. Ellen & Bridgid married, Mary never did. All died in Schenectady. Associated surnames through marriage and Sponsors at Baptisms: Haughahagen Loftus Healy/Healey **Bridgid married an Andrew Healey and I believe they married prior to arriving to US. There is a very strong connection between the 2 families. Mulligan McHugh Hugh Durkan Henry McDonagh Devine Griffin I do have Martin Foy's parents listed as Matthew Foy, Collagh and Bridget OLIVER married in 1823. Witnesses to their marriage were Pat Mulligan and Mary Oliver (Kilconduff R.C. Reg., Marriages, Vol. 5, p. 22). We were there last year and did see at least one of the houses that was in the family and the current owner has no plans to tear it down. I was also told that we likely have people buried in Kissaller but the graves are not marked. I have not verified this. I'm sharing this information hoping that there are other lines of this family out there. There is so much more to learn! Thank you for taking the time to read this. Carol McNamara Virginia, USA

Greetings to all. Once again back on the search, still seeking clues to the MERCHANT family of Westport, 1800 to 1950. Kath.

Austine Gavin is mentioned in the 1796 spinning wheel list from Islandeady. Austin Gavin in Griffiths also Islandeady 1848-1864. Austin Gavin from Oughaval, Carrowmacloughlin, Austin Gavin from Oughaval, Farnaght All county Mayo and undoubtely tiny specks on the map, my Gavans ( the name is the same as they are the same people) are from Carrowbeg. Hope this helps, Ray Gavan.

Interested in exchanging/obtaining any information on the families MUGAN(MOOGAN,MOGAN)/ CORCORAN MORAN or MORGAN from the parishes of Islandeady, Kilmaclasser or Kilmeena in County Mayo for the period 1790 to 1925. May God Bless You and Keep You J J Kenny MUGAN List- Administrator.

I am reading a new book LION OF THE WEST:A BIOGRAPHY OF JOHN MACHALE by Hilary Andrews. It has Dr. Machale's lineage @ Tubbernavine, Tirawley District Mayo. If anyone needs to work with this information, I highly recommend it. Also... For awhile now I have been compiling a [data] file on the STAUNTONS of the following Civil parishes. The socio/political/ecclesiastical insights are worth the read. All townlands in: KILDACOMMOGE TURLOUGH BREAGHWY BALLYHEANE MANULLA [PARTS] BURRISCARRA [PARTS] ISLANDEADY AGLISH So, if you will share any Staunton/Stanton information you have with me, I will be glad to send you this 40 page plus file by e-mail. Never know what gems lie within. Some things I've learned THE HARD WAY! Yes, I too have heard this all before. a.. Always check all possible spellings of anything Irish...Surnames, Townlands, etc. b.. Figure out if you are working with a Civil viz. a Catholic Parish...their names are often different. Geographical boundaries can be different too. Size really varies too. Some parishes are geographically small and some huge. Their shapes are often determined by topography. c.. Do look for contiguous townlands...and their tenants. The Griffith Valuation CD is an incredible tool! d.. Look at the other civil parish lists [online]...you may find your ancestor went out of his/her way to find a spouse. e.. Save your data and review it periodically...new things will jump out at you from old research as your understanding of what you are doing become more sophisticated. f.. Look for the relationships between townlands, for example I didn't pick up that 2 townlands 5 miles apart were more accessible by virtue of the fact that they were on the same major road/route. More than dancing was done at crossroads. Also an Irish Mile of the turn of the century is reeeeely loooong. Still is today! g.. The same Townland name can often be repeated in other civil & ecclesiastical designations. So, be sure you are working with the right one. How many "Cashels" to you think there are in Ireland?

Hello, Mayo people... I am looking for the parents and siblings of 1) Austin Gavin, b. 5-15-1815 in Westport, and 2) Bridget Moore, b. August 6, 1818, Austin's future wife. He died in 1891, she in 1892, and both are buried in Columbus Twp., Michigan. Austin was naturalized a US citizen in 1848, the same year Joseph, their first child was born. There is a family story that Austin came to the US thru Canada, and I read SOMEwhere that "...his records are at St. Ann's (Quebec)," although his arrival may have preceded the institution of record keeping. He may have met Bridget there. And that's all I know. If you can help, please respond to [email protected] Thank you.

Is there any activity on this list. I have not seen anything since the 21st. Lois Daly Brown
