Greetings.
I am new to Ireland Reaching Out and would like to correspond with anyone in or near Tracton who might be a distant relative with whom we would share a common ancestor. We hope to visit Tracton this year for the first time as part of an effort to extend our family history.
My great great grandparents were:
Maurice Drinan & Julia Reilly whose son was Maurice Drinan (born 29 June 1810).
Patrick Foley and Elizabeth Goggin whose daughter was Ellen Foley (born 4 Sept. 1811).
Maurice Drinan and Ellen Foley married and produced my great grandmother Mary Drinan King (born 8 October 1843) who emigrated to America and married Michael King who was also from Ireland.
If anyone recognises any of the above names I would appreciate some contact. I missed the 2014 Drinan Reunion in Tracton and obviously have a lot of catching up to do.
Best wishes.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
We have a parish liaison in Tracton and I will alert her to your message.
