Hello Connie, Season's Greetings! By any chance have you come across a MORRIS (or Maurice) DINEN (aka Dinan, Dinnen, Dining, Dynan). He is my great-great grandfather. Married CATHERINE KERNADY (probably Kennedy or Carmody), came to Canada most likely around 1855 or 1856. He died in 1858 at age 52 so that means he was born around 1806, in either CLARE or CORK. His daughter, my great -grandmother, CATHERINE DYNNAN (or Dinan,etc) was born in February 1844 in County CLARE. Where are your Dinans from? What place names in Ireland have you found to be associated with concentrations od this family. I am hoping to go to Ireland this spring. Do you have any suggestions or contacts for me? Very grateful for any help you could give. Mary in Mississauga, Ontario
