Cavan / Re: Leviston Family of Drung, County Cavan
« on: Monday 22 February 10 04:34 GMT (UK)  »
Hello Maggie,

Just yesterday I reviewed the Drung Registers on microfilm ordered through the LDS.  John Lang of Killeshandra was my 4G-grandfather, his wife being Abigail Leviston (Lang).  She was the daughter of James & Abigail Leviston (my 5G-grandparents).  John and Abigail Lang had a daughter Mary Lang.  Mary married William Flannelly of Skreen Parish, County Sligo (in a Catholic ceremony) in March 1832.  William & Mary were my 3G-grandparents who came to America during the Famine (in Nov 1846) with their 6 surviving children.  I have just published a book titled "Past-Forward - A three-decade and three-thousand-mile journey home" which tells the story of my 30-year search for our Irish roots.  Here is a link to the publisher's website if you would like to see more about the book:  http://outskirtspress.com/pastforward/

I would be happy to exchange information with you.  Send me your email address if you like. 

Best regards,

Maureen

Hello again.

The LDS records indicate that both records were extracted from local sources.

Cavan / Leviston Family of Drung, County Cavan
« on: Saturday 09 January 10 23:55 GMT (UK)  »
Hello everyone.

I am the 4G-granddaughter of John & Abigail (nee Leviston) Lang who were married in Drung Parish in October 1808.  (confirmed on LDS site).  Abigail was baptized in Drung in 1786, the daughter of James & Abigail Leviston. (confirmed on LDS site).   I am trying to clear up a confusion due to there being a Henry Leviston who was also married to an Abigail and a Henry Leviston married to a Martha, all three Leviston families having similarly named children over the same years (1770s-1790s).  I would like to figure out the relationship between James and Henry and more about them both having wives named Abigail.  Any advice would be much appreciated.  (LDS records seem to confirm that Henry and James both died between 1817 and 1820).

Maureen
