The Clann is a voluntary non-profit association staffed entirely by volunteers, which helps all Egan researchers in our community to collect and share information with each other.

We collect and archive any and all material provided to it by Egan researchers on behalf of the Clann. Information gathered may help someone in the Clan in the future; however all personal material managed by it remains confidential to the Clan Association.

The Clann attempts to respond to all enquiries from members and non-members alike, using its records to identify connections to other families within the membership. It acts as intermediary in establishing initial contact between parties. It also provides advice on sources of information and limited searches of public databases, for members who find it difficult to reach libraries or resource centres.

It does not provide access to primary Irish records - many of these are only available in Ireland on a fee for service basis through the bodies that control them.
