My Morans are from Ontario.  I have one sister for whom all surnames spellings are Morin while the other sister goes by Moran.

My Morans are immigrants from Ireland. That is about all I know so far. My Gr Gr Gr Grandfather (I believe) was Edward Moran born in Ireland, 1830. He died in PA in 1890. He was married to Catherine ?, born in Ireland. That is all I have aside from descendants.

Thanks. I tried that. It is a good place to look and I spend a lot of time there. I have so many brick walls I could build a city.

Try looking on familysearch.org, then click on 'search records' & 'record search pilot'. It's a great resource. I broke thru a brickwall I've been banging against for years & found 2 new generations of family.

Thank you for posting. I wish I could get my Moren's back that far. I am stuck in Hemstead Co. AR. The VA came from his sons 18880 census when they started collecting where the parents were born. That information is sometimes a hit or miss.

My gg-parents were Thomas Moran born in Mohill, Co. Leitrim, Ireland & Mary Ann Kelly born in the same province. Their daughter was Elizabeth Moran born 28 March 1846 in Mohill. They came to the USA mid 1800s & settled in Wisconsin. Elizabeth met & married John Joseph Keeley about 1860 in Janesville, Rock Co, Wisconsin. After his death she married Micheal Dunlevy. After his death she married Charles Dolan. They founded the town of Hazen, Mercer Co, North Dakota. They lived in Hazen until their deaths. I have more details if needed.
