The article “Clann an Bhaird”

James Ward <jjward13@yahoo.com> 09.06.2024 – I just wanted to send along a big thank you to Mr. Eugene Duggan for researching and writing this piece – “Clann an Bhaird”. I have always wondered how the Ward Clann fell on such hard times. I always believed it was the Cromwellian confiscations, but I never knew the O’Kelly’s played a big roll in taking lands from the Sogain. It was a very interesting read, and I believe there’s a book in there concerning the Sogain tribes.
