There are only two families listed under N, neither one is Nallen.I'll get those for you as well.
My connection to Belmullet is through my maternal ggrdmother Hannah Dean(e), ggrdfather Michael Carey & paternal ggrdmother Mary Ellen Dixon (ggrdfather Green, Mary Ellen's husband, was an English coal miner who emigrated to Pennsylvania as well as the other three).In 1993, while planning my 1st trip to Ireland, asked my then 93yr old aunt(Hannah's last surviving child) if her parents ever mentioned a specific location in Co Mayo as their homestead.She replied Belmullet.We were on a group tour both in 1993&2001 so did not visit Belmullet either time.I've pledged to return again with Belmullet as my sole destination and in the meantime exchanged genealogy info with a few other descendants of Belmullet emigrants to U.S. We decided to gauge whether a Descendant's Reunion would be feasible.As you can see, it has gained momentum over the months.Maybe you could give us advice as far as best time of yr to visit & whether or not the town could accommodate the group.
My ggrdparents came to USA in 1883, which I understand was the yr free emigration was offered by the government?
Can you tell me where the emigrant ships departed from Belmullet area at that time?Did the people travel to Galway or did the steamships anchor off the Mayo coast?
Still have not found my ggrdparents names on ships lists so that information might help me to do so.
I'll get those N names.
Ann
