Yes, I've crossed paths with Connor Lannen a few times in Kiltoghert Parish records recently.

In the petty sessions it describes a May 6th, 1855 event in which Peter Shanly of Kilmaddaroe accused Michael and Cornelius Lannen (from the neighboring village Clogher) of assaulting him, and Michael in turn accused Peter of assaulting him. The charge against 14 year old Cornelius was dismissed. Michael Lannen and Peter Shanly each had to pay a 5£ fine and "keep the peace" for 6 months.
I can only guess at the reasons behind the dispute, but I find it interesting that Connor Lannen can be seen via Griffith's as a neighbor of Peter Shanly's in Kilmaddaroe in 1851. The two of them had a legal dispute also! Cornelius would only have been 10 in 1851. Perhaps Connor was the father, uncle, or even grandfather of Michael and Cornelius Lannen. Hard to say.

I guess I just don't get it. I'm glad whenever someone connects to my tree or adds something. I don't care if a picture is reproduced on another genealogy site, as long as the information is correct. It's not like I'm getting hacked or something if I already publicly posted or gave someone some images.

Well you have, from Census, a 70 y.o. one in Kiltoghert Parish.


Have you looked through Kiltoghert Parish registers??7
I haven't, other than a few maps and headlines. I suppose I need to Google a list of parishes and go through each one.

Hallmark, I'm not registered with findmypast yet, but Family Search showed a petty sessions record on May 11, 1855 and one on May 25th in the court of Carrick-on-Shannon. He was the defendant in both.

Yes, Maggsie. He married Bridget in Lexington, Fayette Co., Kentucky. They had a son in 1860 and moved to Portland in Louisville, KY, where my family still lives today. I have lots of reliable records of the family in the US, but my records of these two immigrant teenagers in Ireland is a bit nebulous, to say the least.
I would love to run into someone on a forum like this who can help me connect my Cornelius and Bridget with already researched families in Ireland!

I don't really see why it's a big deal, as long as they aren't profiting in some way from it. I mean, technically it's usually some long dead relative who actually OWNED the images and stories. Obviously, I get S121's point and realize that it's rude to not credit someone for their efforts, especially if there's an actual proper name attached to it instead of just a username.

No, there wouldn't be. In the Griffin's Land Valuation (1847-1860s) there were upwards of a thousand hits for Lannan/Lannon/Lannen across Ireland, mainly in counties Wexford, Waterford, Galway, and Leitrim. Leitrim was hit very hard during the Famine years, and most people who survived left for bigger towns, the United States, Canada, or Australia. I've been told that you're more likely to meet people who's family hails from Leitrim outside of Ireland than inside. By 1901 the nation was bouncing back from the potato blight and people from other counties were moving back into the farm lands of Leitrim.

Leitrim / Lannens of Leitrim

My ggg-grandfather Cornelius Lannen (Lannan, Lannon), born in 1840 or 1841 has long been the dead end in my family tree. His US Civil War induction papers list Leitrim as his place of birth, and there are 2 Petty Sessions records of a Cornelius Lannen in Carrick-on-Shannon, Co. Leitrim in 1855. Hopefully the same individual and not a doppelganger. He emmigrated to the US no later than 1859 and was married with a newborn child in Lexington, KY in 1860. Wife, Bridget Murphy  (1840-1881).

If anyone has more information, or some tips, I would love to hear it and I would be glad share what I have about the Lannen/Lannan Family in America.
