  1. Hi,
    I am planning a trip to Mill Street in November. I was wondering if you could help me locate a family home from long ago. The family name was Looney. My mothers name was Margarita Maura born October 3, 1921. Her parents were Daniele Looney and Hanora Moynahan. I’ve heard their home was in Claragh More area. I know there was a relative named Siobhan. I’m not sure if her last name was Moynahan.

    I would appreciate any help.

    Thank you.
