Greetings fellow Callahan Descendants!
This is my first post to the list and I am very new to all this
genealogy stuff, so please excuse me if I don't have the proper
genealogy etiquette! I have just started researching my family tree,
and I am searching for any CALLAHANs beyond my great-grandfather. I
have been told that my great-great-grandfather was from County Mayo,
unfortunately no one knows anything about him, not even his name! All I
know is that his son was Andrew CALLAHAN and that Andrew was born in the
U.S., so I presume that his parents emigrated from Mayo? If anyone can
provide any advice as to how I can begin looking for my unknown
g-g-grandfather or any other genearations of CALLAHANs past, I would
greatly appreciate any help. Thank you!
