Huguenots in Killashandra
« on: Friday 09 March 07 13:44 GMT (UK) »
Hi All from a newbie!

I am researching Follis in Killashandra. There is a strong family tradition that they were originally Huguenots who came from France in the late 1600s. Any help regarding Huguenots in Killashandra as well as follis info would be much appreciated.

I have info on this family going back to circa 1760 which I would be happy to share.

Thank you :)

Hello rjcf,

The Huguenot Information section of Robert and Linda Malseed's website mentions that there was an early colony at Killeshandra in Co. Cavan. http://tinyurl.com/3utz8d
