I have recently been searching for my Irish ancestors and was drawing a blank trying to find anything about my Great, Great, Great Grandfather, Francis Boland, from County Clare, Ireland. I was really excited when I stumbled onto your email.My Great, Great grandfather was James Boland, son of Francis. James was deported from Ireland in 1832. He and his brother Michael ended up at Maitland, N.S.W. James' descendants have been in this area ever since. Thankyou for another thread of information.
