Historically most Gavan families came from County Mayo and some in Kildare the history of the family is mostly Mayo,I am afraid that I do not have records back that far but I have seen an American site that I cant remember that had ships lists of passengers from Ireland to the USA ,I thinks if you peruse the CINDYS site you will find it under shiops lists.
Ido know of Charles Gavinsfrom Burrinshoole on Carrowbeg County Mayo dated about 1850 and as the Isish had distinct naming patterns it could be a start for you if you are interestered. Best wishes.
REay Gavan. Sydney Australia.
ps I will be in California in August for 3 weeks from the 20th.
