MONGOVEN, MONGOVAN, MUNGOVAN and Allied Families
Hello,
My name is Jan Patrick Mongoven (California) and am interested in filling out our family tree in America. It seems as though we've "hit some walls" with this family.I welcome your comments/additions/(and, importantly!) sources. I am descended from JAMES and CATHERINE COSTELLO MONGOVAN of Ennis, County Claire, Ireland, who emigrated from Ireland in about 1852.I am very grateful to John Mongoven (Florida) and Chris Mungovan (England) for their thorough research on the families throughout the world and in America...and for their inspiration!
