Hi,
This is my family of Callaghans. I am trying to see where my great grandfather Philip
Callaghan, from Magheradrumman, Donagh, Donegal, fits into your Callaghans. My
grandfather, John Callaghan, born in 1861 in Tirvole, Carndonagh, immigrated to Woburn, MA
and married Catherine Winifred Doherty from Clonmany in Stoneham in 1892. I think my
Philip was a brother to Patrick, William, Francis and Edward. We had heard that John went
first to CA to work on the railroad. He worked in MA for forty years for the B&M
railroad. He had cousins John, Michael and Daniel Callaghan in Woburn.
Have you been able to get any information from Sacred Heart Church in Donegal? Would love
to compare notes on the family.
Joan
