Hi Bud! Just go to http://www.goldenpages.ie/extra/phonebook.html and enter the details you have............I checked already using Donegal as the county and came up empty, but the next county down is Sligo and there are listings under THAT county, such as "Brian Flanagan, Corlea, Ballyshannon, DONEGAL"............its a VERY Irish telephone directory!! Good luck and all the best, Lindel Bud Flanagan wrote: >Would some kind soul help me with the correct telephone number to reach a person in Bundoran and also Ballyshannon. > >Have just located a living relative in each of these places. >The family name is Flanagan > >Thanks to any and all replies. > > >==== DONEGALEIRE Mailing List ==== >Donegaleire listowner is Carol Queen. >Visit my homepages at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~donegaleire/ >QUEENSCASTLE BRANCHES AND BOUGHS > >============================== >Gain access to over two billion names including the new Immigration >Collection with an Ancestry.com free trial.

Hello List, Looking for any information on my great-grandmother and great-grandfather. Patrick Callaghan who married Catherine Connaghan early 1890's in Donegal, possibly near Garton. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks Elaine

To Laurie - lthompson@terrafirma.com.au RE Donegaleire-L@rootsweb.com 8-12-04 - Is it the THOMPSONs that you are searching for in Donegal? I have been searching Wileys and Porters there before 1840s, but my Thompsons were also of Irish ancestry, though I know not where. James Thompson b. 1795, d. 1842 in Lancaster Co., PA, USA, was son of Samuel Thompson and Agnes McCaslin. Anyone connect with any of these names?

The short answer to your question is that it depends what you mean by 'operational'. You won't find many Prebyterian church records that early- most are from mid 1800s. Convoy's records are Baptisms fr 1822 and marriages from 1845 . The are available on microfilm in PRONI in Belfast (Public Record Office of Northern Ireland) and probably elsewhere but you should be able to view them at a Church of the Latter Day Saints (Mormon) Family History Centre if there is one near you.. But some Presbyterian congregations existed before this. Records were seldom kept as the law dictated worship should be at the parish church (CofI) - it was illegal in the 1750s and before to hold meetings for Pres worship and they often took place in private houses. Hence no-onekept records which could incriminate them. Some of the flavour of those times and some records are in two books by Alexander Lecky on the Laggan Presbytery. Both are long out of print and difficult to get. These are the names from Raphoe/Convoy- Ruling Elders and Commissioners 1672-1700 Joseph HENDERSON Edward HERVIES William MILLS Michael HENDERSON Robert ANDERSON Michael PYPER Patrick BELL Robert DICK Alexander STUART William RAMSAY James LAIRD James COWDEN Robert GRAY Robert WALKER John McCLURE Arthur McCLURE James FLEMMINE Richard McCLURE John SPROUL Alex McCONNELL Wm BENE For marriage records it is advisable to check COFI parish church records since this was where a marriage recognised in law took place. This was important if you had land you wanted your children to inherit.

I actually have very little to give you from the disks. Wwould suggest that you visit the FHC and go throught the films and see if you can find anything. Their computers have more data and access to other disks (well our local FHC have this data available). Did you visit the sites that our members host. here are a few and I missed many. Hope these suggestion help, may take a long time to confirm or find your data. Would strongly suggest that you join and send a message to a Donegal List, you can find all the Donegal mail listed at this URL You must sign up to receive the mail list. There are four Donegal related mail list listed .

Hi Listers, Does anyone have information on James (or John) Weir who married Catherine McKinley about 1810. I am researching the Weir line and any information would be appreciated.

Hi everyone Sorry if you receive this twice. My wifes mother was born 1907,possibly Newtoncunningham,at least that's what her oldest son told me. None of the other members of the family seem to know for sure. Her father was Hugh Quinn a Scutcher,and probably moved around a lot because the children seem to have been born in different places,one Margaret was born in Ardstraw Co.Tyrone,another Daniel in Manorcunningham. He was said to have come from Raphoe or Convoy. A lot of the records were lost in the Clydebank Blitz in 1941,and now my wife and her family would like to know EXACTLY where she was born. Would there be an index of births for Donegal and/or Tyrone for the dates around 1907 ?? I would be grateful for any help in this matter. Thanks Frank McGonigal Ont.Canada

Hi Frank, The LDS Family History Centers have the Irish Birth Indexes on microfilm. The 1906-1907 Index of Births is on FHL Microfilm # 101071. Once you have looked up her name in the index it will give you a vol. # and page #. Good luck in your search. Beanachtai, Margaret (Mairead)

Etc Be glad to help anyone researching these names..many early parish records plus all the indexes Irish 1845 to 1930 and British 1837 to 2002.... thegeoghegangatherer jo -------------------------------- Visit my newsletter website at: www.btinternet.com/~finty/ ---------------------------------

Hi listers. I have been collecting the family name history of "Tonry" for 6 years. I have hit a block wall on finding birth certificate or where he was born. G/F. Edward Francis Tonry,abt 1869 in Ireland. He died before I was born in Brooklyn, New York on 04/10/1934, age was listed as 65, Info from his death certificate. His father was James and married Honora Conway, date unk. I have a picture of 3 gravestones in Tuam,Galway of the 3 different spellings of our name, Tonry,Tonery and Tonrey standing side by side. I have sent to Dublin and have gotten a negative reply. John J. Tonry

There is a townland called Mountpleasure in Gartan Parish - as far as I can see from the townlands list, thats the only one. What family are you researching?

To Robin at rmarkle@rochester.rr.com In add ition to the excellent advice Claire gave, you might also try the Ellis Island Site, if you think she may have immigrated between 1892 and 1924. That site is at: http://www.ellisisland.org

Hello Lindel and all I am researching Duffys: William Duffy and Rose McMonagle had following children: Bridget, Ann, Isabell,Mary, Frank and Hugh. Frank was my Greatgrandfather and lived in Baltimore, Maryland. His date of birth Aug. 25, 1854 and family tradition says they came from Donegal. I don't have anything but names for the siblings. Looking at the 1900 census it lists date of immigration as 1856. The 1910 census list date of immigration as 1865 so I am not sure exactly when his family came to the U.S. but he would have been young. They had cousins that lived in Delware, so when I exhausted all my resources in Maryland, I turned to Delaware and found a William and Rose Duffy living in New Castle-the town where the cousins also lived, with an infant son named William. A William was not listed in my family notes but perhaps he died an infant. This may not be my William since no other children are listed as living there with them at the time of the census in 1860 Anyway, to cut a long story short, I have gone over a lot of census' doing research on a Graham line these last few years and it is always the country of birth that is listed. However, in this case, the census taker had entered Mt. Pl. instead of a country. I thought it was worth a shot since I am new to Irish research and have so little to go on. Thanks for any ideas that might help! Delia

Delia at Wldwd6@aol.com writes: << Is there a town named Mt. Pleasant anywhere in Donegal as far as anyone knows? >> Delia, Would you be satisfied with a Mountpleasure townland? It is located in Gartan civil parish, immediately SW of Church Hill townland and village, and close to Gartan Lough. Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts
