The Moylan family

My own branch of the Moylan family came from county Kilkenny in Ireland, and is probably unrelated to the Moylans from other counties. I have other ancestors who came from various places around Ireland and southern Scotland. This page is devoted to my own family history research, but there are also links to other Moylan pages I've found on the web.

Other sites with family trees

Here are the relevant web sites I know about so far. I haven't yet found connections between the people mentioned below and my own family, and the indications so far are that there are none to be found.

Ken Moylan's site. If I've interpreted his information correctly, Ken is descended from someone who migrated from Galway to Massachussetts (USA) some time in the early 1900s. Ken has also collected a huge wealth of information about other Moylans. This used to be an extensive and informative web site, but I haven't been able to reach it for a while now; I suspect that it no longer exists. I am now trying to use the Wayback Machine to reconstruct a mirror of this site.
Sean Moylan's site. Sean is a descendant of Michael Moylan who came from Co Clare in 1837 to settle in Ballina (NSW, Australia). He's collected information on quite a few of his relatives, most of whom live in Australia. The site has some interesting historical chronicles.
The Moylans of South Philadelphia. The information starts with Jasper Moylan who was born in 1805 in New Jersey (USA).
Descendants of John Moylan, on a list of Monaro (NSW, Australia) pioneers.
The Moylan Family Website of Tom Moylan and Olivia Murray of Dublin. The Moylan information here is not very extensive, although there's a wealth of information about Olivia's family.
The whiba website includes information about Moylans who came from Quin, Co Clare, and settled in the Maitland (NSW) region.

Mathematics genealogy

This has nothing to do with the Moylan family, but it's as good a place as any to put it on my web site. The Mathematics Genealogy Project is a project run by some American mathematicians to trace back chains of researchers and their supervisors in mathematics and related areas. From this I have worked out my research heritage.

About me

If you used a search engine to find me, you might have seen pointers to pages in the domain newcastle.edu.au. Those pages no longer exist, so don't be surprised if they lead nowhere. It takes search engines a while to "forget" about obsolete pages.
