Cathy, Andy, Pat and I welcome you to this collection of family memories and histories.
This website was originally built to record a bit of history about the Canavan Family. You are a part of this group if someone in your family is a descendant of Anthony Canavan (1822-1890) and his wife Ann Hughes ( 1818-1899) or married a descendant. Subsequently, I found I had inadvertently created a suitable landing pad for some of the personal digital bric-a-brac I had accumulated over the years. I hope you find something of interest to you. Enjoy your visit.
