I am interested in genealogy for Eastern Galway (Portumna).  I am related to the Whelan's and Larkin's of the area.  Any help you can give will be much appreciated.

  • Hello Margaret, my great-great-great-grandparents were Patrick Whelan (c.1796 - 1877) & his wife Honora Larkin of Tonroe, co. Galway, near Oranmore.  Their son was Peter Whelan (1834 - 1905) of Tonroe & Tawin Island, c. Galway.  If these are the same as your family I'd be happy to share more info,

    Sean
