Hello everyone.  I am just now reading these posts. My ancestor was Michael Lannan that married Bridget Brenan. I am a descendant of James Lannan from Loogootee, Indiana who is descended from Michael Egan Lannan as my research shows. The last known link to Ireland is through Michael Lannan and Bridget Brenan although my research stopped there and cannot find when, how or why ancestors emigrated to the United States. I am related at some point to the aforementioned Bernie Lannan. I am very interested in putting together ancestor information for our boys. I know we come from Lannan's from New Ross, County Wexford and that there might be a gravestone somewhere there.  We hope to be planning a trip to Ireland in May 2017, but would love to hear from any of you who might be able to help in the meantime. We currently live in Iowa...my grandfather was 'Thomas" Albert Lannan from Davenport. He was one of the older of 13 children of James Lannan and Sarah Jane McCracken.

Thanks, all
Kevin Lannan
