My family lived on Croghan for generations u till my Grandfather, George, moved to Dublin in 1880. His father James {d.1911) is buried is Ballyfad with my Great Grandparents, George,and Bridget (Darcy). My research on the origins of the Grahams suggest that the founding father was a border Scot transplanted to Roscommon in 1606. When this plantation failed he was employed by Sir George Graham on the confiscated lands granted to him in Cosha country in South Wicklow. My Y-DNA appears to confirm this as it is that unique to the border Graham Scots. I have researched the history of the area over many years. Congratulations on your Society.,Andrew Graham
I have been searching my name for many years with little results. Because the names Formaol and Fermoyle are both phonetically practically the same as mine, I'm beginning to think that possibly my family may have left the area in the early 1700's and relocated to Cuba and possibly earlier thru Europe then to Cuba and eventually on to New York in the 1800's. The french were heavy in Cuba at that time and Pierre Formel is the first record thin the early 1700. I"m interested in finding more information about the Old name for Limbrick Hill, Fermoyle and Formaol. Thank-You. Shaun Formel
