Ireland is the home of my mother’s mother’s family. Our Coyle, English, Mullane and Brady families had their roots here. The Mullane family began in Kanturk, County Cork and moved to Clonmel, County Tipperary. The Coyle and Brady families lived in County Cavan in the towns of Finnea, Granard, Killykeen and Moat. I am sure they were spread further across Ireland and those locations will be uncovered as further research is done. Scroll down for names & research resources.
