Sorry I don't know any more about your family. I lived in Clarkfield as a child and knew both the Mcloughlin and Healy families. I am doing some family research and have drawn a deadend with my greatgreatgrandparents and was intrigued to see you had mcdonnell in your list of family names. My family only came to Clarkfield sometime around 1860 and I just wondered if we may be connected in someway. I have always know Healys and McLoughlins are related. By the way did you know you have a famous relative? Louis Walsh's mother is Maureen Healy from Clarkfield. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
