I have been to Ireland and Glan 5 times.
Yes.I have contacts in Glan.Sheridans, McGoverns, McLoughlins, Flanagans and O'Haras.
The late musician, Dano O'Hara, who played in Blacklion, Enniskillen and Cookstown, Tyrone, was a cousin.His mother is Molly O'Hara nee McGovern of Mully Lower, Glangevlin.She left Cavan about 1972 for New York City and has helped me a lot with my research.She is now 99.
There is a Glangevlin group and a McGovern group at Facebook.I belong to both.
There is a Glangevlin website.

I was near Knockmore during my last trip. I went to the Church of St Patrick in Corlough in November 2008.I took some photos in the cemetery.
There was a Smith reunion in Ballinamore in September 2008. The Smith family dedicated a statue at the church. My cousin Jack Smith and his wife attended. His mother was my relative, Susan Sheridan of Glangevlin, Co. Cavan, Ireland, and she was married to James Smith of Teeboy, Templeport, Co. Cavan and they lived in Chicago, Illinois.
I have McGovern friends in Philadelphia and their "Red Oiney" McGoverns came from Derryvella, Templeport.They have ancestors buried in the cemetery next to the Church of St Patrick in Corlough in Aderra.
