Hello, I am anne McCaughey, formerly from Tyrone, now living in Fremantle, Western Australia. I am a visual artist and am working on an exhibition titled the Museum of leaving and arriving, focused on stories of the leaving of ireland pre and post famine. I heard a story which particularly resonated with me, of a family sending their young off to canada, america, australia, all with one chair from the family set and was looking for people willing to share stories of ancestors and what became of them. Here's hoping. XX

Hi Anne, I live in Claremont. My McCann family story can be found by going to the East Perth Cemeteries website and searching for the 2011 Pioneers Day Citation. One of our daughters-in-law has Tyrone ancestry. If you strike any problems finding the citation, please email me at mauron@bigpond.net.au.
Regards
John James
