We have started this file with Andrew Hand who was Ann Hand's grandfather. 'Irish Roots' 1999 Number 3, on the Surnames of County Dublin, lists Hand as the fourth most common of the local names in Fingal, and says the name derives from the O'Hann clan. (Fine Gall means 'the tribe of foreigners'. Dublin county was settled, and Dublin established by the Vikings). In the 1870s, the family farmed in the Townland of Mullan, in Drumgoon Parish, County Cavan.
