It was my dream to visit Dromore this summer for my 70th birthday. Due to the pandemic, we must wait. I'd love to know more about the farm they lived on. Anime settled in Boston too.

Eileen, this is so cool. Michael and Annie were probably first cousins, living on the lane in Dromore. Here we are communicating, living thousands of miles away and a few generations later. I'm glad we are in touch.

Hi Patricia,
It is cool. Yes I believe they were first cousins. Finding information from this area is pretty difficult. Recently I was able to get Michael's marraige certificate to Isabella McMenamin. There is still a McMenanim poultry farm being still there. I have tried to contact them but have had no luck.
I would love to hear your Grandmothers story.
I just realized my Grandfather came over with them on the same ship! I can believe i didn't see it before! I have both documents attached to my tree but they are on different pages of the manisfest.

I descend from the same McMenamins as Isabella. They lived in Polfore next to Magheragart. Some of the family has gone to Glasgow. My grandmother, Isabella's niece came over to Lowell Massachusetts in 1910. Isabella's father Hugh died on 13 May 1895 in Magheragart at the ripe old age of 87. Michael Gorman, present at death reported it. I have a lot of info on the Gormans and McMenamins on my ancestry tree. (called M'Menamin) There are living descendants in Glasgow from Michael and Isabella. She died in Glasgow 3 Jan 1939. There are also living descendants in Massachusetts.
