Troland of Ballymoney

What a fantastic resource! 

Thanks for sharing!

All the best,

Hello all Trolan researchers!

We have a mystery on our hands and were wondering if anyone can help us.  We are from Pittsburgh, Pa and are looking for our great grandmother who was a Trolan.  Her name was Mathilda M. Trolan and she is from Magherafelt, County Derry from what we understand.  When she imigrated to the United States, we are assuming that she came to Pennsylvania, around the Jefferson County area ( her children were born in Punxsutawney, Pa and family was shown in Gaskill, Jefferson County, Pa cencus) and was married to Patrick Summers/Somers.  If anyone has any information please contact us as we are hoping to connect with family abroad :)

My great-grandfather James Thomas Trollan was Mathilda's brother! As you may know, all the siblings immigrated to Jefferson County, PA and so did their mother. They came from Magherafelt, County Derry west of Belfast. The family was Catholic and English & Irish-speaking. I visited Magherafelt in 2013 with my parents. My father is also James.
