The Dorans were one of the seven septs of Leix (O' Devoy, O' Dowling, McEvoy, O' Kelly, O' Lalor and O' Moore being the other six), and they were known as "the great Brehan family of Leinster".

Lee Doran
Hi Lee Doran is my name. Family came from Ireland in the 1940's. Arthur Doran grandfather, moved to Australia.
My father born in 1943 Trevor Doran was the eldest of 5 orphaned children. He passed when I was only 7 leaving me with little knowledge of my family. I would like to connect. Also looking for Anthony Doran. Born in the 1940's not sure what year.
Doran Ward
My Irish ancestor was Jane Doran from Fermoy in Cork, Ireland. She was born in 1847 and emigrated to New York in 1863 in time to see Lincoln's funeral cortege. Her brother Jeremiah came here closer to the turn of the century, but moved to California.. She was my grandmother's grandmother, both very loved. My mother Jane remembered her fondly,and named me for her. My first name is Doran.

Cathleen Brown
Hi, my name is Cathleen Doran Brown. My Doran Family hails from Dungannon Ireland. William Doran is my great-great grandfather. He and his wife, Jane (Jenny) migrated first from Dungannon to Vermont and then established in Niagara Falls Canada. William's parents, according to a family Bible, were William and Bessie ORR Doran. I cannot find any records for them :(
