Georgia, Both Carolyn and I have been to Shretagle (not sure of spelling
without looking it up). It is indeed out from Ballina, right on the coast. A
small village of maybe 7 or 8 houses.
I'll look into the DNA site you sent.
Thanks,
Michael Cavanaugh
Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Carolyn, can you get me an idea where Shretagle is located in Co. Mayo?
Anywhere near Ballina? Thanks, Georgia

This is interesting. Others of us with the Louisiana connection
will be
watching
the Cavanaugh List so we can keep up to date on the info. I haven't heard
from
the County Mayo Cavanaughs (Kavanaughs) in Shretagle recently.
