Hi Joe--Figuring out the Bonners' has been more challenging than I realized!! I basically have bits and pieces that I'm trying to put together. Here's what I've got so far: G-Grandfather, John Bonner (Boner on one early document) was born in Ireland ca. 1865. I believe he came from Co Donegal (even now that's where most Bonners' are located). Anyway, he married Mary McGinty, another Irish emigrant, in Immaculat e Conception Ch. in Phila. in 1887. Mary's parents were Neil McGinty and Susan Friel. They had four children: not sure of birth order--John (my g-father), Cornelius (AKA Neil), Michael and Mary. John had one child, my father, John, who was a retired Phila Firefighter, when he died in 1984. Mary and Michael had no children. Neil had one son who never married. We're keeping the line alive...my dad, sadly, did not get to know his three grandchildren (with #4 due next Saturday!). One possible--but totally unscientific clue--I just returned from a vacation in Ireland. Among my souvenirs, a current Donegal phone book (can't hurt). Most of the current Bonners are located in a western area of Donegal known as "The Rosses." There are not that many of them. In order of occurence: Burtonport, Dungloe and Doochary. You can draw a short line from Burtonport to Doochary with Dungloe between. The towns are quite close together. Plan to check this out further. Any more info I can help you with, let me know. Best of luck!! Marianne Bonner
