Oh my - I just went to my Donegal Genealogy Resources website to check on some pages which need updating and saw the visitors counter - I've now had over 100,000 visitors!!!! Seeing as it has reached such a milestone I thought I'd take this opportunity to thank everyone over the last 5 years who has visited my website, emailed me about it and also those who have contributed to it - THANKYOU all very much...........you're as much the reason I have continued to build up this resource as is my love of the county of Donegal! For instance, I may be bogged down in a big transcription of records and have to be really pushing myself to type every letter, then an email will come in out of the blue, thanking me for my website and for putting the records online! There are now over 520 pages of info online and a newly indexed Pico search engine near the bottom of the page to go find info on specific people and places - its what I use alot of the time to find info there myself! Anyway, anyone is welcome to visit the site, which I am still adding to, but I will have to cut back on lookups, for a little while, because of health reasons - I will probably end up still doing some if anyone is desperately desperate and doesn't mind waiting a day or so for a reply :-) Once again, thanks to everyone for supporting my website (and keeping me going!) Lindel Donegal Genealogy Resources - http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~donegal/

CONGRATULATIONS LINDEL and many thanks for all your tireless efforts in helping us uncover the journeys of our elusive ancestors. Cecile Walczyk

Have updated the site with Griffith's Evaluation Data six (6) pages of surnames beginning with "M/Mc" There are eight (8) pages of M's to be added when transcribed. In addition the 1901 Census data for the Townland of Ballymacavany in Templecarn, Donegal has been added to the census pages. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hiflyte/ Enjoy Bob Cdn.

Hello Listers, Here's briefly my brick wall. The Parish of Leck was noted on my gggrandfathers monument. I had a cousin that visited Ireland look up this parish. She drove to it and found it which was in ruins but alas no Carlins (my family surname) in the graveyard. However, further research told me that there was a bigger Parish Leck about 5 miles away from the one my cousin went to and in fact, that the caretaker's of the cemetery last name was Carlin. As you can imagine I about died with excitement. But to my dismay, I can't find this bigger parish. I was wondering if the person who is doing lookups can help me out?!? Many thanks, Jeannette Carlin Mahony

Hello Jess I have located two Claggan's for you. One in the Parish of Tullyfern and one in the Parish of Clondavaddog ( now spelt Clondavaddock ) Both are in the Poor Law Union of Milford. At Tullyfern the Presbyterian church is at Milford Baptisms :- 1827 - 1952 ; marriages 1827 - 1842 and 1846 - 1955 Communicants Roll 1805 - 1901 and 1933 - 1942 In the Parish of Clondavaddog the Presbyterian Church is at Milford. I think this will be the one for you as A Rev Robert White was there during the time of your ancestor. Baptisms for this church are 1839 - 1902 Marriages 1845 - 1927. All of these Church Records can be consulted at the Public Record Office, Balmoral Avenue. Belfast. Northern Ireland. You may have to consult Church of Ireland Records as well.

Henry, Liam, Muriel and Maureen, This is the most amazing list possible. I had never posted to a list before, shy I guess, and have nothing but total admiration for you as listmembers and gratitude for your efforts on my behalf. I now have what I believe is the correct spelling of the place I am researching, and two distinct possibilities to concentrate my search, as well as addresses. Maureen, your very kind offer to scan and send the photos of the Presbyterian Churches in Milford is much appreciated. I would love to see them. I'll be up all night finding out as much as I can about these areas, and will probably be going over many sites I've visited before, but now know where they fit in my search. Again, many, many thanks, Margaret (Jess) in Canada

If you look at the URL below you will find a townland called Claggan which matches your grandfathers directions http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~bhilchey/MTullyfern.html It is a 226 acre townland north of Milford. The Presbyterian records began at Milford in 1860 and at Fannett in 1827. Records may be found for both these churches via the URL http://www.rootsweb.com/~fianna/county/donegal/donpres.html where you can email the Presbyterian Church for Information on Location of Records Liam http://www.willana-lifesciences.co.uk "A bird in the bush is worth two in the Cat" ----- Original Message ----- From: "jess" <jjpp@shaw.ca> To: <DONEGALEIRE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2004 6:02 PM Subject: [DONEGALEIRE] COOK, ANDERSON, MCLAUGHLIN - Place names > I am searching for a placename that sounds like "Clegan" as recalled by my > grandfather, Samuel COOK.

Does anyone know if Naturalization status in the US was voluntary or manditory? If you did not become a citizen what was the downside of staying an alien? Was their a time limit? I'm talking about the time period of 1790-1880's. What about citizens from Canada to the US in the 1850's? Alice

I am searching for a placename that sounds like "Clegan" as recalled by my grandfather, Samuel COOK. He was born around 1847. His father, Samuel COOK, died the same year. His mother, Rebecca ANDERSON, possibly from the Isle of Inch, remarried to a William MCLAUGHLIN, and they emmigrated to Canada shortly afterward. In 1911 he wrote down what he had heard of his background, and among other sketchy information, included his understanding of his birthplace, as follows: "I was born at Clegan, about one and a half miles from the town of Milford, which is some four miles from the town of Ramelton and that would be, I think, some eight or ten miles from Londonderry, in county Donegal. Was christened when six or eight months old by a Mr. White, Presbyterian minister. That will be recorded at Milford church. As I was not expected to live at the time they likely took me there to be christened. It may, however, have been at Clegan." My search needs to start with a place sounding like Clegan, fitting the above description, and I have not been able to find such a place on the sites I've searched on the internet. I have also been unable to find a Prebyterian church active in Milford, where I might search for a christening record. I would be very grateful if anyone has any information that can shed some light on this place, or any suggestion as to where I might look for his birth records. Kindest regards, Margaret in Canada

I haven't posted this for a while, so I thought I'd try again. I'm looking for descendants of Edward and Grace McDaid Carey of Greencastle (Grace died in 1928, and is buried in the churchyard of St Mary's Bocan). Their son, William, who was living in Ballyharry 4 years ago, apparently had a large family while he lived in New York State for 20 years or so, and I understand they still live in the US, though William returned to live on the property owned by his cousin, Grace Doherty. I'm related to Grace McDaid Carey (her sister, Mary, was my great-grandmother). Just interested in connecting and sharing family history information. Thanks, Denise Foley
