Twin Peaks returns and we're reminded of the Brennan family

When we heard Twin Peaks was coming back, we were reminded of the kind but clutzy character, Deputy Andy Brennan, played by actor Harry Goaz. In the show, Deputy Brennan was a lawman, but the real Brennan family does have a skeleton in their closet, the infamous "Brennan on the Moor." This old, traditional Irish tune tells the story of Brennan, the "brave young highwayman," who was on the opposite side of the law as Deputy Andy, but still managed to win hearts.

Are you a Brennan, or do you know an outstanding Brennan? Send them to the Brennan page on the Irish Rose website to learn more about their family name (its origins in Kilkenny, Mayo, Sligo & Roscommon), view the Brennan family coat-of-arms, and see a list of famous Brennans.
