Several weeks ago, the Ryans from Oklahoma sent a list of Ryan nicknames which the Tipperary historical society provided to them.  Because the Ryans are so numerous in Tipperary, families have been given "nicknames" to differentiate one family from another.  This list is a follow-up to the list provided earlier, as it shows which town lands and parishes the nicknames originate.  The colored dots represent Ryan families most likely aligned to our own family.  The Blue and Red dots are where James and Ann Ryan lived during most of the 1800s.
