Hello John. It is a fluke that I find your message today in that I was not looking for
information, but rather popping names into yahoo for recreation. However, I am thrilled
to have found your post. My mother, Hope Callan, is Luke B. Callan's daughter. She
is one of nine children (all but she deceased). My mother grew up in Peabody,
Massachusetts and now resides in Danvers, Mass. I grew up in Danvers and am now in Salem,
Mass. Luke married Sarah Flynn of Prince Edward Island and their children were Mary,
Agnes, Emma, Kate, Joe, Sarah, Luke, Rita (and Hope). Ironically, I had "Ireland
after Forty Years" in my possession until yesterday when I returned it to my mother.
It's such a small world. I told her I would contact you to thank you for the lovely
website you have created and to let you know much she loved the photograph of her father,
aunts and uncles. Please feel free to contact me. My family is very interested in any
information you have about the Callans.
Thank you.
Maureen Gaffney
