Family Gatherings: Rod and Mick
Rod Cavanagh and Mick Ronan 2021 An unexpected connection. This is my brother Rod, and his workmate, Mick Ronan. Rod and Mick first met over 10 years ago, while working in the mining industry in Western Australia. Not long ago, they had a discussion about family backgrounds, after I had shared some of my f amily history discoveries with Rod. There were some overlaps, as Mick had a surname that was in our family tree, and was from South Australia where our grandfather was born. The result - Rod and Mick discovered that they are ... 4th cousins once removed. The relationship chart explains the connection. Patrick Ronan is Mick's great-great grandfather.
