I am trying to find family from this general area in Ireland, maybe you can help. Julia Egan came to New York in 1936. She was born August 19, 1903 in Birr, Offaly/Kings County. Her parents were William Egan born June 30, 1966, his mother Jane (McGrane) Egan born in 1876. I am trying to find additional information on Williams parents. Their names were Kieran Egan and Julianna (Dooly) Egan. I know they were in the Parsonstown/Birr area in Offaly/Kings County, but have no other information on dates of birth, etc. I know Kieran was from "north of Offaly" maybe that could be Roscommon county. I am looking for any information on Kieran Egan or Julianna/Julia Dooly. My understanding is the Dooly family owned the Dooly Hotel in Birr that is still there today. Thank you for any help you could offer.

Re: Egan Family from Offaly
It seems like those names are familiar and I have seen them as I have searched, not sure if they are the right ones. I just looked at this site again and there are Patrick's & Bridget's, but not sure if they are the same ones you are looking for. http://www.eganfamily.id.au/FamilyHistory/index.htmlI would also try www.familysearch.orgI let you know if I see anything else and I look. Good luck to you also.

Re: Egan Family from Offaly
Did your Kieran and Julia Egan originated from Balinasloe Ireland? Do you have a Julia and Helen (father K Egan) leaving Ireland mid/late 1920's to settle in America? If so I do have quite a lot of info for you. Regards Jackie

Re: Egan Family from Offaly
This does sound like the same family. Our family comes from William Egan, son of Kieran & Julia Egan. Perhaps William & your father, Michael Egan, were brothers? I would love to see what other information you have. I have information from a relative here in the US that lives in New Jersey, but has visited Birr many times and knows many relatives. Do you have any information on other children of Kieran & Julia and of the parents of Kieran Egan or Julia Dooley/Dooly. I have seen it spelled both ways. Thank you so much. Julie Clarke

Re: Egan Family from Offaly
I'm just of for a weeks holiday but will come back to this when I return. Helen (Nellie) Egan from Balliasloe married Michael Mulvey, they lived in Queens N.Y. from the mid 1920's. Julia Egan left Ireland and settled in US 1920's. Helen and Julia's father was K Egan and I think there was also a brother K Egan. Regards Jackie
