Hello, I am currently researching my Ronaghan Clan from Ireland. What I do know was found by a distant cousin who searched records in Ireland, in person, many years ago.

My James Ronaghan had a father by the name of Francis Ronaghan who married a Mary Stuart before 1828 in Ireland. They lived in the County Armagh which borders with Monaghan. They had four children; Patrick, Thomas, James b. 1829, and Martha.

James left home at the age of 16 during the winter when the family discovered that the potatoes they had stored were rotten, abt. 1845. Nothing is known about what has happened to his two older brothers or his sister. We have not been able to find any info beyond this about James life in Ireland...

Does anyone have any info related to Francis and Mary Ronaghan or with their sons Patrick or Thomas or perhaps they have a Martha Ronaghan and who she married but no further info... maybe we could link up and exchange info...

Any clue is worth a dig...

Thanks,

Patti Peters
