Hi While researching my own family (Gallery and kenny), I have come across references to O'Gorman several times, once to the Kilmihill branch who have a tree on Clare library website(there is some evidence we are extremely distantly related to them from trees that go back to the 1600s and notes on m...

This is actually where the Mungovans were originally from. I am pretty sure that is a different family than mine

Thanks Paddy for telling me about this link. It has cleared up a few things by giving the full record including the fact that my grandfather called our family home in Doonogan Dromin and said it was the name of an old Townland (it is such on the ordnance survey) Here David Kenny has it as Drominavei...
