It's hard to say if there is any connection between your Folan's and mine.People didn't travel too far from their roots in those days.There were a lot of Folan's in Connamara in the 1800's.Many of them emigrated and their name was changed to Foley when they arrived in the US.Did your ancestors go through a name change?My father was John Foley (Sean Folan in Ireland).Good luck on your research.I will keep your query on file.
Sincerely, Gerie (Foley)
