Hi Ken,

That is fantastic information. Thank you very much. I would like to get in touch with Pat Whittaker, if you know how. I have been doing research on my family for 9 years now. I have tons of information that I would be happy to share regarding her mother's family (McGough). Some amazing connections. After living in the Bay Area for years, I moved to Ireland and have the family traced back 9 generations. Currently, I'm living in London.

Catherine McGough Beckerman's father was Patrick. He had five brothers all from Knockreagh, Broomfield Countyy Monaghan, Ireland. One of his brothers, Micheal McGough lived in Elmira. My g-grandfather was one of his brothers, Owen McGoff as well as another brother James lived in Binghamton. We are baffled as to how we never knew about his brothers living so close just 30 minutes away. I have pictures to share as well.

If you send me your email address I would be delighted to send you some information if you are interested.

I've just checked back on this site. My email is michellemcgoff@yahoo.com

Hope to hear from you.
Michelle McGoff-McCann
