Welcome to the 'Byrnes from Bekan' Family Website   "ByrneFamilyTree . com". 

This website traces the family tree starting with the Byrne family from Bekan, near Claremorris and Ballyhaunis, County Mayo, Ireland and extends into the Byrne family tree.

Click on 'What's New' for details on recent event, changes or an announcement.

A lot of fine families became part of the larger family tree through marriage and the Ruane, Morris, Murray, Mc Hugh and many other families are also included here as much as possible. A family branch for James Byrne's brothers, Patrick and Charles, (also Frank O'Byrne family) is also included here. Go to 'short cuts'.

Click on '16th Century Byrnes' for information about the family back into the 16th Century as provided by Mrs. Nell Byrne and Mr. Frank O'Byrne.

It is our intent that the family tree website will continue to grow as new families are added, new children are born and new information and photos becomes available.

It is our hope that your children, and their children, will enjoy this website and help provide important details and photos so that we can all become acquainted with all our extended Byrne family members.

Click on 'James Byrne Family' or 'Short Cuts' when you are ready to get started on your tour of the family tree.

Click on 'John Byrne' or 'Short Cuts' when you are ready to get started on your tour of the Patrick and Charles Byrne family tree (children of John and Ellen Byrne) .

This website is dedicated to the memory of Mrs. Angela Ruane of Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin (Angela Byrne from Bekan). Angela (Auntie Angela to many, many nieces and nephews) believed in the power of family and always hoped that we would make the effort to keep in touch and share memories and good times together.
