Latton Bawn Historical Group are calling out for more of your emigration stories. If you or any of your relations left the parish of Latton & Bawn in the 1940’s, 1950’s or 1960’s. then they want to hear their stories.
Next year they are publishing a book on the emigration of those who left from the parish in the above years.
An example of the information they are looking for is as follows:
1. What year did they emigrate and where did they go to?
2. What did they work at, did they get married and have a family?
3. Are they still living, if not when did they die and where are they buried?
4. You can add as much information as you would like about them.
They would like a photo of them if possible. To date they have the stories of almost 100 people. but they know there are many, many more.
So why not get your stories to them now to avoid disappointment on missing out after the book is published. There will be a deadline date set for the inclusion of all stories around the month of November.
You can send your stories to them by contacting any of the committee members or email lattonbawnhistoricalgroup@gmail.com or send a private message to their Facebook page.
The committee members are: Patsy Conlan, Catriona Lennon, Peadar Black, Patrick Lennon, Alice Monahan, Maura Quinn, Alice Forde, Pat Ruxton, Peadar McElroy, Geoorge Montgomery, Owenie Sullivan, Bernard McElroy, Gerry & Marie O’Brien, Michael Monahan.
