My wife and I came to Taumgraney hoping to find some
info on my ggrandmother who lived in Ballyvannan. I went to the Catholic church centre and was greeted with a very warm reception. She took what little info I had and hand delivered it to our B&B that evening.
We went back the next day to thank her for the info (ggrandmother's Baptismal date). She then pointed to a corner of the room and said"there is the font that was used" in the baptism. How surreal that was because she was baptized on 12 Feb. 1833 . We were in Ireland 2 fabulous wks, but this was our favorite time

Hi there Maurice,I am really glad that your visit did bear some great news for you & Mrs. Cotter,It is amazing that after 180 years you were able to see & touch where G- grandmother had been Christened,Wonderful!
So glad you enjoyed your Stay,,,God Bless,,,Pat Duggan.
