Dear Cheryl ............. I have the same problem that you have & to this day it remains unsolved. The only records available, that I'm aware of, for your required period, are in the church's. So, I've the following Donegal Catholic Church's as listed, with 'tel nums' but no street addresses (not listed), in my telephone directory for Telecom Eireann : Glencolumkille ....... (073)30025 Glenswilly Church Hill .... (074)37020 Glenties ....(075)51117 Pettigo Parochial House .... (072)61666 Rathmullan .... (074)58156 St Peter's Dungloe .... (075)21264 Tory Island .... )074)35505 You/we have 2 options, maybe 3: 1. Telephone these guys directly, ask for data, make mailing arrangements, donate. 2. Hope for some kind soul to post the addresses on Donegaleire, then do a mailing, donate. 3. Catch the next plane to Donegal & 'hoof it" around to these church's & ask them for the data. Options #1, #2, #3 require a $donation of some sort. Option #2 & maybe #1 require return envelopes I favor #2, although, I've had little success with any kind of mailings. It may be worth another try though. Lets see if somebody comes thru w/addresses & take it from there. Otherwise, I may have a way to get street addresses, I'll have to check it out. Keep in touch.

I have not had much luck tracing my Pennsylvania McKeevers and McFaddens back to Ireland, because it happened almost 200 years ago. In other cases, where I have an ancestor with an unusual name, I have had some luck finding someone a few generations back with the same unusual name and tracing back to that person or family. The first McKeever who emigrated ca 1790-1800 was Cornelius (aka Neal or Neil) McKeever. One of the first McFaddens might have been Manasses (aka Manus) McFadden. Is there any record of a family of McKeevers or McFaddens in County Donegal who used those names? They were all Roman Catholic, so they did not wait for the famine. My grandfather, who reasearched the family history, told my mother that they came from Donegal. So I am hopeful that he meant County Donegal in Ireland (and not Donegal Township in Butler County, PA). Was there something going on ca 1790-1810 that caused a lot of Roman Catholics to leave County Donegal (e.g. Wolfe Tone)? Or were there simply too many people for the resources available? Finally, I would be interested in any history of these families. 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. Thanks, Phil

Ellen at elangan@telus.net writes: << Can anyone tell me about Barnsmore, Tawnawully, Donegal. >> Ellen, The "settlement" of Barnesmore (I hesitate to even call it a village, as it's just a postoffice and a few buildings strewn about <gr>) is located about 5 miles NE of Donegal town, on the N 15 national road to Ballybofey/Stranorlar. It's located at the southwestern end of the Barnesmore Gap, a lovely passage through the mountains along the Lowerymore River. There is no townland of Barnesmore - it seems to be generally located across a boundary between the townlands of Keadew Upper and Cullionboy, all within Donegal civil parish. The vast townland (nearly 10 square miles) of Tawnawully Mountains lies a bit to the north of Barnesmore. Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts

Can anyone tell me about Barnsmore, Tawnawully, Donegal. Owen Boyle m. Sarah Anne Rowe who, according to family notes, came from there. Apparently she had seven sisters. Owen and Sarah Anne were my g-g-grandparents, Daughter Bridget Boyle m. Neil Martin (Tailor) - they are in 1901 Census, Main St, Donegal. (With all my greataunts) Owen had a sheep farm somewhere in Donegal but I've had no luck tracing him and Sarah Anne. Thanks, take care, Ellen

It's a lot easier to update, so I can take requests again. I have all the Heads of Household listed for Clonmany parish, Donagh (except Carndonagh town), Fahan Lower (except Buncrana Town), Mintiaghs / Barr of Inch, Desertegney, and two townlands in Culdaff (Aghaglasson and Dristernan). I will put up any records that anybody need. http://www.inishowenheritage.com (See "Records Online" under the Genealogy menu on the left). Regards, Michael --=======5CAC527D=======--

Little bits of information are coming in these days about my Moville family so I wanted to present some here to see if anyone can help. My family is also connected to Glenagiveny and Shrove, Greencastle so I'm trying to understand where everyone was in relation to the place they mark on a map as Moville. A relative named Kathleen Hegarty McDonald died in 1994 while living on Quay Street, Moville. Can anyone tell me where that is? James McLaughlin lived on Mullen Street, Moville in about 1906. Can anyone tell me where that is? Thanks! Kathy

Hi My GORRY ancestors came from Moate Co.Westmeath and I have been contacted by someone who's gr.grandfather John GORRY was born in Moate,but served in the R.I.C. in Raphoe Donegal, probably around the 1880s,as he had a son Patrick Joseph Gorry born then. John married Ellen McANDREW,probably in Bellmullet where Patrick was born. I could find out more info eventually at the Mormon FHC in my area,but wondered if anyone has an Index of names etc.and save me a trip,and the expense of renting the film or buying the fiche. Thanks Frank McGonigal Ont.Canada

I recently received a report on my grandfather who was born in Donegal. In the parish records (Inver) it gives his name, date of birth, (GAGRIM), father Thomas Mohan, and mother, Sarah McCunningham, of Cranny Lower. The last name should be Meehan, but then most of the records are fairly illegible, with things crossed out, and just generally messy. Does any one know what in heaven's name is GAGRIM? Is this Gaelic? With three "Latinists" in the family (two of whom are almost too old to remember our names much less Latin) we don't think it is a Latin derivative. Can anyone help? Anything at all most appreciated. Kae Ruth (In the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia)
