Thanks for your reply about the 'g' makes sense - what I'd really like to know is our family clan Monahan from Monaghan

Monaghan / monahan vs. monaghan
« on: Sunday 23 March 08 17:43 GMT (UK) »
My gr.gr.grandfather Hugh Monahan came to the Portland peninsula {Maine USA} in 1848 & married Margaret McGurk in the old {1830} St. Dominic's Church in 1855. St. Dom's was the 1st Irish-Catholic church on the Portland peninsula. I wonder why/when they dropped the 'g' & if our clan Monahan originated in County Monaghan. It is said we're from Donegal. ? My nana Grace Monahan never used the 'g'.
