The Swinford Chats Podcast | MacFest in the West
Description
Tommy & Cathal recorded a LIVE podcast from Padraic Horkan's Bar for MacFest in the West. MacFest in the West is a gathering of the descendants of the McNicholas and MacDonagh families of Barnacogue and Curryaune, Swinford.
The McNicholas/McDonagh Swinford story began when Owen McDonagh and Nora Morris of Tyrone migrated to Barnacogue at the turn of the 19th Century where Owen opened a Blacksmith forge.
They had nine children, Kitty, Maria, Nancy, Patrick, Tom, John, Bryan, Judith and Margaret. Their daughter Judith McDonagh married Thomas McNicholas of Curryane and settled in Barnacogue.
by Julie Doyle, Jackie O’Rourke and Joanne Kilroy of Swinford, who are descendants of Thomas and Judith McNicholas, in conjunction with www.mayo.ie.
