Title: McGovern family
Post by: leachj92 on Saturday 11 November 23 17:50 GMT (UK)

George McGovern b. 1850 Leitrim settled in Providence, RI.  Death: 9Jan1928.
He had a brother, Edward also settled in Providence RI, b. abt 1848, died 10Feb1912.

Parents: Michael McGovern (1832-1902) and Ann Martin (1816 - 1900) settled in Dorchester/Quincy Massachusetts.

I may have a mixed family in my research due to the many McGoverns from the Leitrim/Meath area.
Leitrim church records in the early early to mid 1800's only available from rootsireland website and they only give printed transcript records - no ability to browse through originals and sort families out.
Even the National Library of Ireland is waiting to film these parish records.

Any suggestions or information on the McGovern line ?

This is the site for the Church records.  follow the map for Leitrim, you will have to match the map to the townlands as Parishes names changed.
