I also recently wrote a letter to the >Roscommon Herald and have had a lovely reply from an old man of 86 who >remembers talk of the Regan family in Carownamaddy. He has even sent me a >map of the 'homestead' as he calls it. >I am interested in finding any descendants of the Regan family. I have five >siblings of John Regan to yet account for, so still something to go at. >I have just written to the priest in Elphin to see if he can uncover any >more details for me. It seems they would have worshipped at Creeve church. >So, that's my introduction for now. I look forward to joining in any >discussions I am able to. >Lisa. > > > > >_________________________________________________________________ >The next generation of Windows Live is here >http://www.windowslive.co.uk/get-live > >------------------------------- >To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to >ROSCOMMON-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the >quotes in the subject and the body of the message
