McGoffs of County Mayo
« on: Sunday 08 November 15 04:47 GMT (UK) »
My gram was born in 1915 in the County Mayo. Gram and 3 of her sisters came to America, but 1 sister and her only brother remained in Ireland. I was curious to see how many of her sister Lena's or her brother John's decendents were still around.

Hi There and Welcome

Can you give us as much info as possible ?

What was your grandmothers name ?

What were her parent's names ?

Were her siblings younger or older ?

Do you have a place in Mayo ?

Do you have an occupation for her father ?

The RIP notice for Lena mentions Enagh Beg

Is this her family ?

As per the note that I put on your other thread, Diane is probably your best bet to help.

My gram's name was Anne McGoff(born Annie, name changed by relative upon arrival to America). She never mentioned her parent's names, but I do know her sister's names were Mary, Agnes(born Bridget,name changed by relative upon arrival to America) ,Kathleen(born Katie, name also changed by relative upon arrival to America), Lena, and John. Mary, Agnes & Kathleen were older than my gram & Lena &Johnny were younger. My gram always mentioned growing up on a farm, so I imagine her father's occupation to be a farmer. Gram never mentioned a specific area in County Mayo though.
