Principal family
Scanlon
A dedicated home for the relatives connected to James Scanlon and Bridget McGowan, including the wider Scanlon family who remained simply Scanlon and the cousins rediscovered after 2001.
Our story
How this began
After Martin’s father James died in May 2001, the family history project became a way to piece together lost connections, answer long-standing questions, and discover relatives who had not previously been known.
The original Freeserve website that followed contained photographs, a guestbook, a newsletter and a family tree. Although the site itself disappeared, seven printed pages survived and are now preserved here.
This new version is intended to carry the project forward in a more welcoming, modern way for the whole family.
