  • This is a beautiful story, and how lucky Micheàl McHugh is to have those letters. My great-grandparents were from Belmont and Ballyglass townships; my grandmother Bridie Ruane left Ballyglass for Philadelphia in 1921.

  • Hi
    My name is Margaret Coyne and Honor McHugh was my great grandmother. Her daughter Katie married Martin Joyce and my mother was their daughter Julia Margaret (Peggy) who married a Christopher John Mullane from Cork City.
