The McMahons of Trohanny and Surrounding Townlands

We would like to acknowledge the help given to us in compiling this family history. Many people have, directly or indirectly, played important roles in the work that has culminated in this book. Our thanks go to the Catholic Parish of Moynalty, the National Library of Ireland and to Carmel Rice, of Meath Heritage & Genealogy Centre, who helped to kick-start this project. Access to the Mormon archives was provided courtesy of the Family History Centre in Hamilton, Ontario. Thanks also for information, illustrations and early McMahon genealogy charts to the mcmahonsofmonaghan.org website. In particular, we would like to single out our Uncles Jim and Paddy of Maio; Cousins, Joseph and Peter of Rathbawn, Paddy of Moynalty, Rose and Mary of Kells. Thanks also go to Mary Murchan of Moynalty who acquainted us with unrelated McMahons in the locality. Finally, our thanks go to Paul Claffey for his dedicated work on the design and layout of this book. Cover picture shows the former McMahon Farmhouse in Trohanny lovingly restored 2000-2005 by its owners, Joe Bergin (stonemason from Balbriggan, County Dublin) and his wife, Aine McGarry. We are grateful to Aine for the use of the photograph reproduced on the covers of this book
