Peter McLoughlin is a native of Westport, with strong roots in the Drummin area. He is a keen genealogist and has lived in Ballina for many years. This book is a result of many years of research in the people of Drummin, the place of birth of his late father Tom.
This book offered a fascinating glimpse into the history of Drummin and my own family's place within it. The author vividly brings the past to life, and I was particularly absorbed by the stories of relatives who emigrated to Glasgow. Discovering an unexpected family connection with the author added another layer of intrigue.
This is essential reading for anyone with ties to Drummin or an interest in Irish family history. It's a testament to the enduring legacy of our ancestors. If there's a reprint, I'd love to be included among Mary Catherine Burke's descendants. Thanks for a great read.

Fascinating book for anyone with Drummin roots
The painstaking research Peter McLoughlin must have put into this book astounds me. It would take a person with Drummin heritage to do this and is a tribute to the calibre of person that came from the area! Thank you so much Peter for the knowledge you have enabled others to access.
