Hello from New York!
I will be visiting Tulla while in County Clare on 25-26 August. In 1998 I visited with my family in search of my grandfather's ancestral home. We were able to locate it by speaking with some wonderful people at Minogue's, who put us in touch with Moira Reidy (not sure of the spelling). My grandfather, Thomas Cusack, was born in the US, but his father was born near Tulla. Moira's mother is his sister, who passed away at a young age, and Moira's father remarried. Moira was kind enough to bring us to the family home on Culleen (or possibly Clonlea) Lake. We then found my grandfather's mother's home. Her name was Delia Dillon. The story goes that Delia's mother and sister both married Dillons, making them "double cousins." Unfortunately, I only have scattered notes about the whole trip so I don't know if I have the correct spellings or information, but I am hoping to track down both homes when I visit next week. Is there anyone there who might be able to help?
Many thanks in advance,
Clare Cusack
