Hello.  I am looking for information about a Michael Egan, born in Clongeen, Wexford Co. in the 1790s.  I have two potential birth dates - 1790 and 1797 - I'm not sure which is correct.  My ancestry trail has been traced back to him - he was the first to arrive here in Canada,  landing first in Newfoundland.  I am not sure when he left Ireland.  I would like to see if I could find information about his parents, and whether or not he had any siblings.  I am hoping to locate potential relatives who are still living in Ireland.  

Thanks!

  • Hi Michael

    There is a baptism record of Michael Egan Wexford 1796 on www.rootsireland.ie/ 

    But the parish is Templetown not Clongeen
