BRENNAN MULLIGAN MOUNTJOY NORTHEY BOLAND HOOPER MARTIN O'NEILL HOME

The Boland family came from Tullylin, near Ballina in Sligo, Ireland. Tullylin is now a townland – ie an area that was once a town and is now abandoned. So far as I know Boland is a name that only originates in this area of Ireland. Many Bolands emigrated to Scranton in the USA. I have had trouble tracing the family back any further than my great grandmother Maria Boland and a lot of my information is anecdotal and therefore probably highly inaccurate.

To help find out more out Bolands in general I am list owner of a Boland mailing list on Rootsweb.com. I also compile information on Boland families of myself and other contributors to the list, plus any other Boland research done. This is kept on Freepages at Rootsweb and the URL is http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~navi/

If anyone has any other information on the Bolands listed below and can help me go back further on this line, please email me at BOLAND-L@rootsweb.com
