Hello Darren and Wendy,
Like you, Darren, I am just beginning to research my family history, although I've been meaning to do it for quite a few years. Also like you, my surname is Gillanders and I come from the Emerald Isle, although not from Co.Monaghan. I'm further up north in Belfast.
My late Father was Samuel George Gillanders, married to Mary. They had four kids, George, Margaret, Sadie and myself David. My grandparents were James and Margaret Gillanders. there is an old photo of them in a family page I did and can be found, if you care to have a look, at the following URL:
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/david.gillanders/circus.html Also in this page are photos of my parents, but feel free to explore the entire site from the links at the top of the page. The site will possibly tell you more about me and my family than I could tell in this short post.
I am really interested in any information anyone might have pertaining to the Gillanders family and if it's preferred to write privately, then here is my e-mail address: *
Regards,
D Gillanders.
