C.P Donohue,
My name is Bill Mohan. My grandfather was Thomas Mohan, born in Drumbority,, in 1882, to Thomas Mohan and Rose Meighan. His sister was Ellen, born in 1884, who later married a Donohue and settled on Long Island. I talked to my cousin Elaine Dorscia, who lives in Aston, PA. Her mother's maiden name was Mohan. She discovered your post and called me right away. I do not have your email address or phone number. I have been looking for a connection that took our family from Ireland to the US for years, without any luck. My grandfather Thomas, left Ireland around 1902-03 and went to Paisley, Scotland. He married Catherine Haughey on 12/31/1906 in Paisley, gave birth to my father, Thomas on 11/01/1907, and John in 1909. He came to NYC in 1910, aboard the SS Califormia. He got established here, got a job in Franklin, MA and sent for Catherine and their children. Catherine arrived in Boston with my father and Uncle John. They settled in Franklin where he worked for the trolley car company. In 1918. he unfortunately died of the Spanish flu epidemic, leaving my grandmother with four boys and one on the way. His death cut off all communication and news from Ireland. I had heard that my grandfather had come to America with 2 sisters who settled in Glen Cove Long Island. I went to Glen Cove, tried finding them in the Irish parish records and in the Library ancestry with no luck. My email address is wfmohan@yahoo.com. My phone number is 508-934-9802. I would love to talk to you to fill in the many gaps in our family history.
