I know this is a long shot but...........
I was wondering if anyone had any listings for the surname MONGAN in their family tree's, originating from Co Sligo. I am researching a Mongan line in Co Mayo, who emigrated to the US and I was contacted by a fellow researcher in the US who is trying to trace his gg grandfather who came from Co Sligo, so I offered him any assistance in the matter (seeing as he is going to continue my search in the US).
The elusive Mongan we are looking for is a Dennis Mongan, born in Co Sligo somewhere in the 1770's. He emigrated to the US around 1800 and did what every Irish person was told to do in the Bible - "go forth, multiply, fill the earth and conquer it". There are hundreds of descendants originating from this Mongan line in present day US.
So if anyone has come across a Mongan (or it could be spelt Mangan, Mongey, Manghan etc.,) in their Co Sligo family tree's or if you have come across a birth record for Dennis Mongan - please let me know.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
