Thank you. Clancy, another fine Leitrim surname. My great-great-great grandmother was Ellen (Clancy) Flynn, rests in peace now in the Kilmakerril cemetery near Glenfarne, Leitrim. - all the best, Alice

took a snapshot of the Ballroom of Romance myself while travelling on the N16 in 2010. My late grandmother (a Clancy) was from Gleann Fearna :) A beautifully soothing and timeless Irish singing voice you have

Thank you to my cousin Linda Thompson, for her photos of Glenfarne, county Leitrim, Ireland. Our great grandparents, Peter Flynn and Bridget Keaveney Flynn lived in the area of Glenfarne and immigrated to the US in the 1880's.
