  • Mike:

    Welcome back to Ireland Reaching Out!

    I searched for prior Foran messages in Co. Waterford and the only one I could locate was a message that you posted in 2013. Hopefully, someone else with Foran connections will comment on your message. Have you considered autosomal DNA testing?

  • Mike-

    Have you shared your DNA results on GEDmatch or through Wikitree?

    I believe that we have been in touch in the past re: Foran/ Kennedy connection.

    I visted Clonea Power two years ago and am going back again in a few weeks. David Kennedy and I have continued to build our research based upon the Kennedys of Clonea/ Rathgormcak/ Mayfield Rocketcastle / Portlaw / Tinhalla / Carrickbeg

    I found the Foran plot in a local cemetery that are connected to our Connecticut Foran (Glenhouse)  branch.

  • Hi. A Mary Foran was married to James Skehan in  Graigueavalla, Rathgormack. She was born in 1764 and passed away 18 November 1813. This is as far back as I can go in our family tree. According to a headstone in Carrick Beg where she is buried more of my ancestors are interred there but there are no names. Any help would be appreciated

  • I should have said that my side of the family is the Skehan side
