I am descended from Cornelius
Callanan who emigrated to Keeseville,
NY via Quebec in 1850 from Tipperary
(likely Thurles). The spelling is pretty
consistently Call-A-nan but I've seen
a few variations. I've posted to the
Callanan list in Jan. 2005, but my post
seems to have been the first and last one
there. The common names in my line
are: Cornelius, Michael, Dennis, John,
Johanna, Catherine, Mary.
I have found some material on a branch
of Callanan's who seem to have
shuttled between Plattsburgh, New
York and Springfield, Massachussetts.
I know of no connection to my line, but
kept some information just in case. If
that sounds familiar, I'd be happy to
send it on.
