Thomas Sylvester Egan
« on: Monday 15 October 18 02:26 BST (UK) »
Hi! A newbie to this forum. Stumbled into this today.

Thomas Sylvester Egan Sr (who married Mary Fitzgerald) is my gggg grandfather, one of his sons, Eugene Egan (b: 1841) was my ggg grandfather and I have been spending considerable time of late to dig real deep in the Egan family line and I have been learning a lot of more things about Egan (More since the DNA results). Thomas S. Egan along with his brothers were born in Castlegregory, Ireland.

I learnt that Thomas S. Egan have two brothers, Michael and John Egan. I am not sure where Michael Egan went but John Egan who married Mary Farrell, had Thomas Egan (married Mary George Fitzgerald) their son, Eugene Egan emigrated to New Zealand - which both Eugene Egans has caused a lot of confusion until now... with more information at hand from distant cousins.

However, I am going to try something here, I am sure someone else may have MORE information in regards of the Egans. My Eugene Egans have four brothers and two sisters, the brothers are Thomas, Frank, George and Michael (b: 1838) - Michael T. Egan's children emigrated to the US (have the contact to Egans there) - the sisters are Catherine and Mary Egan.  Michael T. Egan (b: 1838) and most likely Catherine (B: 1844) remained in Ireland until their respective deaths.

If anyone knows more finer details of the Egans as above, let me know!

If you learn how to research these then you can return at your leisure as and when new discoveries are made which is better for you as you can dedicate more time to researching.
