Title: Francis Drohan and Ellen Sullivan info?
Post by: bernwrites on Sunday 06 August 17 00:50 BST (UK)

Hi all
I am new to this group and am a relative beginner in researching genealogy.  I stumbled across posts from Paul Peter on this site who was researching Francis Drohan (1819-1882).  Paul, I'm hoping you read this message, since I don't know how to PM you!   
I believe this Francis is my 3rd great grandfather.  Rumor on 'this side of the pond' has it that he was widowed twice and had something like 16 children from 3 wives??  My search shows his first marriage to Ellen Sullivan.  It's possible his parents were Patrick Drohan and Catherine Dee, but these folks would have been too young to be his parents based on the records I found.
Does anyone else share this Francis on their tree and want to compare notes?
Thanx
Bernadette

Welcome to RootsChat
Is this the post you found

Paul Peter was last here in Nov 2016.
The best way to make contact is to post a reply on the Kilmacthomas Workhouse thread that way he will get an email telling him someone has replied to his thread, assuming his email address this site has is still working.
