Hello again,
You have sent some very interesting information. I have been back to Ireland every year for the last 5 years. I always stay in Malihide the first nite then travel to Westport and spend the nite before traveling to the relatives. They live in Faulmore which is at the tip of the Mullett next to Blacksod. I know the hotel and have eaten there many times. It has very good food.
When you go to Bellmullet you must go to the parish priests house in or near Binginhamtown. The priest can send you to a woman who lives off the main road and she knows all of the history of the area. She is the one who told me that my Greatgrandfather either came from Sligo or Galway. I would like to think it was Galway because that is where Rev.J.P. Lyons came from.
Where are you living now? I am in Flower Mound,TX just North of DFW airport. I was born and raised in Millers Falls,MA.
Oh before I forget, the relatives that I have living in Faulmore are the Lavelle's,Cawley's,Rogers,Diver,McGinty.
Well,keep in touch and who koows, there may be connection in the making.
Thomas Ford
