Introducing the Waldron Clan Association
The Waldron Clan Association was formed in January of 1994 by a number of individuals sharing a common interest in the history of their Waldron ancestry. In the first few years a number of informal meetings were held, and it emerged that a number of us had collected a sizeable amount of information on each of our own families. We decided it would be useful and constructive to meet regularly and discuss, in an informal manner, different aspects of our own family history, and those of the many Waldron families in Connacht and throughout the rest of Ireland.
It emerged that, while most of the Waldron families in Ireland have long-established roots in the general Ballyhaunis area, there were families of the surname in other locations throughout the country over the past four hundred years. The exact origins of the Waldrons of Connacht is unclear: the general local opinion is that they were a branch of the Norman MacCostello family; but, their descent from a Waldron family of more recent English origin can not be ruled out.
In early 1994 the Waldron Clan Association was formed, and was registered with the Clans of Ireland Office.
