Do you know the EAGAN family in Simcoe County. They might help.

> Well I hope you are still there. I have been off the Limerick list for a
number of years as I tackled different lines of the family tree. I am now
back to Limerick as I hope to find my Egans there. I have only two clues as
to where this clan originated: 1. a small village or town in Limerick or 2.
Armagh. As I do not believe hopefully correctly, that my Egans were from
Northern Ireland I am concentrating on Limerick. I'm also wondering if
Armagh might actually be Ardagh.
> I've researched all possible avenues from here in Canada and there is not
a thread to be found as to their origin.
> Births, marriages and death records; obituaries; burial monuments and
bibles; census records, all available government records and spoken to all
descendants (not too many of the senior group remaining). The only clues
were the two mentioned above. What an elusive family.
> Thomas Egan married Elizabeth before leaving Ireland. The first born child
in Canada was 1832-1833, that record has not been found. however the birth
record for the second child in 1834 I do have. I also have an Ann Sheeran
which I presume is Elizabeth's sister married to a Michael McLean. They were
sponsors for a few of their children and lived in the same area. Having no
luck with the Egans I thought by finding either of these marriages it would
give me a clue as to where the Egans were from.

the Egan clan originated?
