Hi,
My father was from Ballaghadreen at the time. Would like to exchange information on these families.

Hi Joes. We have a connection (in fact we have 2, I think). Patrick (RIP 1921) had a son Andrew who moved to NY, was a cop, and drowned in 1927. He married a girl called Anna Horkan from Carralackey  - We are related to this lady.
Also my GGgrandfather's sister Mary Horkan married Thomas Horkan who I understand is also a son of your Patrick Horkan (RIP 1921).
Finally your Patrick (RIP 1921)'s father was an Andrew Grennan of Knocknacunny 1801-1875 as far as I know.

I'd like to swap info. Also if you check MyHeritage, a person called Niall Grennan (who appears to be a grandson of your Patrick Grennan) has a good few Grennans on his tree. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Joes. The Thomas to whom I refer is a BROTHER of your Patrick (RIP 1921), not a son.
