Mcnulty, Gallagher,Campbell, Padden, Nolan

I am coming over on the 22nd of June to check out some family history. My dad Eneas McNulty was the son of Aeneas McNulty from Cashel and Maggie Gallagher from The Ards. Her parents were Owen, and Margaret Campbell his parents were Patrick and Mary Padden and hers were Partick and Mary Nolan. My dad lived with Margarets brother Thomas and wife Kitty in Glasilaune and went to school there, he would have been 82 now.
I would like to contact any family members and find out where it was my dad lived.
I would also like to here from any local genealogists.
Thanks and best regards Mick Mcnulty, Glasgow.
PS, nice site.

It’s getting cold again…

It’s been quite mild recently but there’s a little dusting of snow on Currane Hill today:

Tell me should I relocate to Currane

I am in the process of selling my house here in the UK and I am seriously thinking of buying a house in Achill.
I am a widow in my fifties and I have led a very active life as a social worker and in Adult Education. I have seen a lovely house for sale in Currane.
Come on Dear Friendly folk convince me that i can make friends in your wonderful community. I am Irish and I have a love of the west.
Many Thanks
I look forward to your comments

Thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening…

It’s a Bank Holiday weekend so naturally the weather has taken a downturn. Here are some amazing pictures, taken last night by Ian Boyle. Corraun House and Sweeney’s Pier in the lightning.

Happy Easter everyone!

Power Cut 29/3/2011

There was a power cut yesterday (29th March) in Currane. We were without electricity for approx. 5 hours. (6.30am – 11.30am). We have no idea why. We’d love to know, leave us a comment if you do. There was no wind and certainly it wasn’t a lightning strike. I think the area affected went as far as Polranny. I thought it would be interesting to make a note of it here so that we have a record of how often this happens over the years.
