Jim: My gr gr grandparents were Maurice and Julia Flahavan. They were living in Stradbally when my great grandmother, Catherine Flahavan Foley, was born about 1845. She brought the family here to Worcester Ma. in 1890 after my great grandfather died. Maybe they are the same folks. The place you refer to is Bonmahon. it's right next to Stradbally, on the coast of Waterford about 10 miles down the coast road as you go from Waterford City to Dungarvan. Very nice place, I was there last summer. It was the site of a big time copper mine in the early part of the 19th century. Evidently part of the Flahavan family went to Bute Montana to continue mining. Luke
