Even though I have not been able to connect my Doherty family back to Ireland, I took my wife and 3 kids to the Doherty clan reunion in June 2000. The reunion is held every 5 years and is centered in and around Donegal. There are lots of websites that can point you to people for assistance for research. One example is http://www.islandnet.com/~doherty/clann/ Let me know if this is the sort of thing you are looking for. I have some more info and a friend that lives in Derry that might be able to help.
