My ancestors with the above last names migrated to the United States as follows:
John Reddan and his wife, Bridget McMahon, after the birth of their son, Jeremiah, who was baptized 12 Feb 1852 in Kilmaley Parish, and before 1955, where they were found on the New York City Census: John, Bridget, and three kids who were baptized in Kilmaley Parish: John, Rosanna, and Ann. (I guess Jerimiah didn't make it.)
Thomas Neylan of Quin Farm, Drumcliff, and his wife Mary Roughan, after 1848, possibly in 1850, and their two children, Thomas and Bridget (Bessie), born in County Clare in 1827 and 1848.
Am looking for anyone with knowledge of these families, or of Quin Farm.
Thank you!

I did see the baptisms of the Reddan children in those online registers. I was fortunate that someone on ancestry ran across them and sent me the link! So generous. I really want to know what was going on with these families during those terrible years... and before.... and to know whether I have any relatives there! My cousin and I want to plan a visit; knowing someone is there to meet would be very exciting. Thank you so much! Kristine
