Records of the earliest documented Keegans
Keegan England Group has devised a way of categorising Keegans into Generations based on Cairbre Crom being Generation 1, through to Aedhagain himself being Generation 11 (see Lineage page for full list).
This directory catalogues every Keegan (we can find) born between Generation 28 (circa 1620) and Generation 34 (circa 1820).
We have split the page into five main groups
1) Keegans of Louth (the branch most commonly found in Dublin and later Drogheda). These are the ancestors of John Keegan (1823, Drogheda, stonemason) the ancestor of Simon Keegan (Keegan England Group)
2) Keegans of Westmeath (the Keegans of Moate). These are the ancestors of John Keegan of Moate the famous Ordnance Survey map-maker whose diaries inspired the book A Young Irishman's Diary
3) Keegans of the Isle of Man (usually spelled Keggeen)
4) Whitechapel Keegans (descendants of Daniel Keegan, branch now residing in WA, USA)
