How far back were Census taken in Carndonagh/Inishowen Penninsula County Donegal Ireland? Could you find any for Bradley family (Bernard) is wifes name was Mary McGeoghean, and they had a son (my grandfather) named Patrick, and I think several other children as well. Also the O'Donnell family: James, his wifes name was Susan Doherty and they had several children. Mary Anne, Maggie, Neil, Hugh, John, and I think Dennis, and there may have been others, as well as an infant daughter that died in infancy-toddler. Anyone who may have any information I would appreciate hearing from you. They came to the USA in the late 1890's on the US Austria I think. Thats why I am looking for Census in the 1800's around 1864 or so on, if not even earlier if possible. Thank you Barbara B Nelson Nsambradley@aol.com

Is there a town named Mt. Pleasant anywhere in Donegal as far as anyone knows? Thank you for any help you can provide Delia

List Members, Have added the census for the townland of Drumchrin in Donegal, a big place with two households.

Robin -- rmarkle@rochester.rr.com -- said: I just found some good information in an obituary clipping about my Great Aunt Margaret Cannon..."She was a member of the Catholich Church in Castine, ME and the Bryn Mawr Catholic Church in Philadelphia, PA." Robin-- Bryn Mawr is a suburb of Philadelphia; it's about half an hour outside the city on what is known as "the Main Line." The Main Line is where all the wealthy city people had their summer houses back in the days when the rich people left the cities during the heat of the summer (and, later, wealthy people made it their year-round home). (If you've seen THE PHILADELPHIA STORY (Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, and Jimmy Stewart) or its remake, HIGH SOCIETY (Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra, and Bing Crosby), you've seen Hollywood's version of the Main Line). Most of the houses in Bryn Mawr are either houses of the wealthy or houses of the employees of the wealthy. The Catholic Church in Bryn Mawr is Our Mother of Good Counsel, founded 1885, and it's in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. See http://www.archdiocese-phl.org/parishes/7410.htm for the official parish listing (including contact info) on the Archdiocese's website. Here's a page that will give you statistical info on Bryn Ma! wr -- http://www.city-data.com/city/Bryn-Mawr-Pennsylvania.html Castine, ME (= Maine) is a town just off Penobscot Bay; the Catholic Church there looks like Our Lady of Holy Hope on Perkins Street; the rectory is 39 Pleasant, Castine, ME 04421, Phone: (207) 326-8740. Here's the official town website -- http://www.castine.me.us/index.phtml -- which will give you a lot of history, local color, etc. Maine was another popular summer home/vacation spot for wealthy Philadelphians. Note, though, that knowing the PA and ME churches may not help you. Catholic churches generally do not keep records of deaths; she died unmarried, so the marriage records won't help; and she was presumably baptized in Ireland. If she died while in Bryn Mawr, I would suggest you try Holy Cross Cemetery (a major diocesan cemetery) as the most likely burial location (assuming, of course, that the obit you found doesn't give you more definite info on her burial). From this limited info (that she was single, Irish Catholic, and had ties to Maine and Bryn Mawr), I would guess that your greataunt was a servant in a wealthy household. If she had emigrated and was a servant as early as 1930 (when she would have been c. 40), you may find her in the 1930 US census, enumerated with the family. In earlier censuses, if you can't find her by name, be sure to check for her employers -- I've had several family members who were single, female servants who were not indexed in earlier censuses and were findable only by finding the family they worked for. Also, keep a lookout for other servants in the household -- they could be more relatives or at least friends from back home. My cousin grew up in Bryn Mawr in a neighborhood where many of the servants lived (his parents were Irish emigrants/servants) and says he heard more Irish accents when he was growing up than he did American accents. I hope this helps. Claire K.

Here's the info you are after - sorry I hadn't answered the email you sent directly to me ................ I'm still trying to catch up on things and recouperate from some health problems. Gortnabrade and Carrigart are both in the Carrickart Electoral Division in Mevagh parish. You can view the 1901 and 1911 census for those two places by hiring a film at your local LDS Family History Centre. The film details are: 1901 Carrickart D.E.D. 125/1-12, 13c 1901 D.E.D. 126/14-20; 127/1-13 LDS film no 827667 Items 1-2 1911 Carrickart D.E.D. 125/1-13 Townlands: Aghalatty, Ballyoghagan, Carrickart, Dunmore, Finver, Glenkeo, Glenree, Gortnabrade, Kill, Megheramagargan, Tirloughan, Umlagh, Carrickart Town LDS film no 2081902 There's no 1881/1891 Irish census. There are other films which should hold some good info for you too - Catholic Parish Registers Microfilm of original at Letterkenny, Co. Donegal, Ireland. Contains baptisms, 1853-1859, 1871-1927; marriages, 1878-1921. Includes index to baptisms for 1854-1869. The Catholic parish of Mevagh includes the civil parish of Mevagh. It is now called Carrigart.

I just found some good information in an obituary clipping about my Great Aunt Margaret Cannon (sister of my grandmother, Amelia (Cannon) Dunbar). A newspaper obit from 1958 states that Margaret Cannon was born April 11, 1890. Her parents were John and Isabelle (Gallagher) Cannon. "She was a member of the Catholich Church in Castine, ME and the Bryn Mawr Catholic Church in Philadelphia, PA." She was survived at that time by my grandmother, Amelia, and three brothers - Patrick, Michael and Manus, all of Ireland. Would anyone out there have any more information or links I might be able to access? Thank you and many blessings!

I read with interest other people sending a donation and never received a reply .I am researching McCorkell of either Donegal or Derry and Clerics and residents just accept my money and stamped addressed envelopes . I have even received back unopened envelopes with REFUSED written on them .I think people in these counties are frightened that these overseas relatives are looking for lost inheritances . Even with the frustrations I like the site . Laurie ( Australia )

The Carndonagh (Donagh) Catholic records start in 1847/1848. Regards, Michael --=======71932E4=======--

I am also looking for an Edward Orr, Edward Nicholas Orr or E.Nicholas Orr born in Donegal in 1776. Could this also be your Edward Orr? I have nothing on his parents, just his wife and children. I seem to have hit a permanent brick wall on him. Beverly

I wonder if anyone could either supply me with a list of Catholic Churches in Carndonagh , Inishowen Penninsula in County Donegal. or tell me how I could obtain such a list. I am interested also in find Catholic Cemetaries in these areas. I am sure my great great grandparents are buried there in one of the Catholic Cemetaries (most likely(. Any help along these lines would be greatly appreciated. The surnames I am searching are Bradley, O'Donnell, White, McGeogheagan. Thank you Sincerely Barbara B. Nsambradley@aol.com

I inquired of the list previously about the particular church from which I was seeking records. One person replied that she had sent a letter to that church and received a letter, I think, from a parishioner to whom the parish priest had given the letter. He told her for a certain price, he would look up the records. That's better than no reply and no money! I was recently in Ireland and visited with family, especially those who are interested in the work I'm doing. When they realized that I was not only NOT looking for family skeletons, but did have information that was of interest to them, i.e., tracing the land from the Griffith through the Cancel Books, there was much interest. I elicited the help of the locals to approach the parish priest with an offer - if they would supply photocopies of the parish records, I would set up a database of their information. That way they could do a search for the requested record and it would automatically come up with a "certificate" that they could print - for a donation if that was their wish. Even if they had the database, I'm not sure the majority of clerics are computer literate to that extent. They're suffering the same lack of vocations for the priesthood in Ireland as they are in the US. Let's face it - the rest of the world is not as crazy as we are - looking for dead relatives. I'm lucky because I have one first cousin once removed who has a great interest in the information I've put together. He's in Ireland and was considering contacting the local genealogy society to come up with the information I provided - and I'm in the US. His problem is that he's young, married, with young children - his wife would be on Dr. Phil if he was spending as much time as I am on THE SEARCH. Conclusion - don't expect much as far as church records are concerned unless you're willing to pay - AND - don't send cash. PS - if I do get the records (I offered to make a trip and scan them myself), they'll be on Lindel's website with a disclaimer that I expect anyone securing the information from parish records to send a stipend to the parish - with the correct address.

Hi Phil, I can't give you any direct help with your McKEEVER and McFADDEN families, but thought I could give you some general help. You say "I have heard that the McKeevers were descendants of Iver the Dane, whose descendants fought against Brian Boru, that they were originally from the highlands of Scotland, but ended up on an island off the west coast of Scotland (where the name is spelled McIver, but pronounced McKeever) and that they were frequent visitors to County Donegal." Phil, many names are present in both Scotland and Ireland, but appeared there independently -- it does not mean that all McKEEVERS / McIVORs or McFADDENs in Ireland trace back to Scotland, for instance, so I would not make that assumption on your line. Generally speaking, McIVOR is regarded as a Co. Derry name. My McIVOR great-uncle (by marriage) traces back to Derry City (in the 1880s), but I don't know if that's where McIVORs are generally concentrated, or if they are spread throughout Co. Derry. I have a distant (second) McIVOR connection in Kildress parish, Co. Tyrone in c. 1800-1830 (and this line definitely shows up in records as McKEEVER), so I know the McKEEVERs / McIVORs had spread out at least that far by that date. So, when researching your McKEEVERs in Co. Donegal, you might want to start with the areas of Donegal that border Derry, but be open to the need to move further into Donegal as you go. Now, for the official word. This is from Edward MacLysaght, THE SURNAMES OF IRELAND, 6th ed. (Dublin, Ireland and Portland, Oregon, USA: Irish Academic Press, 1999): "Mac Keever, -Keevers. Mac Iomhair [accent on the first "i"]. This mainly Oriel name is also anglicized MacIvor in Tyrone and adjacent counties. Mac Iomhair is generally thought to derive from the Norse personal name Ivaar, but it has also been stated that the Irish form, in Oriel at any rate, should be Mac Eimhir [accent on the "E"], from the forename Eimhear [accent on the "E"] (Heber), a favourite with the Mac Mahons, of which great Co. Monaghan sept these MacKeevers claim to be a branch. MIF." "Mac Ivor, -Iver. Mac Iomhair (from a Norse forename). This is usually a synonym of MacKeever and is found in Tyrone and adjacent areas. MIF. See MacKeever." "Mac Fadden, -Fadyen. Mac Phaidin [accent on the "a" and the second "i"] (Paidin, a diminutive of Padraig [accent on the first "a"], Patrick). An Ulster name, of both Irish and Scottish origin. Without the prefix Mac it is found in Mayo. MIF. Map Donegal." MIF = for more information, see MORE IRISH FAMILIES (same author) Map Donegal = unfortunately, I can't see McFADDEN on the surname map in the book, probably because the spine of the book cuts out a section of surnames in Donegal. Maybe someone with an unbound surname map can spot it for you. The portion of the map that's cut off (and where McFadden may be hiding) runs from Horn Head to Fanad Head on the north down to the Co. Tyrone border (excluding the Inishowen peninsula, in other words), including the Letterkenny and Ballybofey areas. Here's hoping someone else is researching McKEEVER and/or McFADDEN and can help you pinpoint your family using the first names you cite. Otherwise, maybe my general info will give you a place to start. Regards, Claire K.
