I've obtained a detailed story about the Cullens in Argentina. They begun
with Domingo Cullen. And like you say, they became a strong political and
social influence. In November 1997, I went Buenos Aires and meet Matias
Cullen, one of the youngest members of that line.
But my line, in South America, begins with my grandfather, Robert
Cullen, who arrived Argentina after WW1 (he was fighting in Europe, and
when discharged, came to Argentina). After married Lavinia Cox (born in
Argentina, Province of Chubut, in the middle of the Welsh Colony living
there), and having three children (one of them, my father), they came to
Chile. Actually, I'm the first Cullen born in Chile.
My father, arrived to Chile at age of 5. He studied here, and when he
was eighteen, joined the RAF, and was fighting WW2. About 1948, while
serving in Burma (actually Mianmar, or something like this), was
discharged, and come back again to Chile. He married, and I was born, in
1951.
I'm a General Surgeon, married, and separated, two childrens: Cecilia (16
years old) and Christian (14 years old). I know some of my family story
here in South America, but I lost the trail in Ireland.
My gr grandfather, Robert Cullen, lived in Dublin. He was Assistant
Curator Pathological Museum TCD (Trinity College Dublin). He married
Catherine Delaney, and my grandfather was born in Dublin, on February
17th. 1885. I'm looking and searching for my family ancestors in the past
century and earlier.
Of course I went Ireland a few years ago, and my daughter and son have
dual citizenship.
