I am a “sometime” family historian with roots back to Ireland. This is a place to share my stories and invite you to share yours.
My maternal roots all lead back to the vicinity around Tubbercurry and Charlestown in Sligo, Mayo, and Roscommon counties.
My direct paternal line, as I have recently learned, leads back to Dublin.
Death at Strandhill
I have many Marren’s in my family tree. However, I have no links to any in Gurteen so Michael is likely not related. I did find this story especially touching and poignant though.
