One of my Love ancestors is said to come from Molinmore Parish, Co. Donegal, Northern Ireland. I can't find Molinmore Parish. Does anyone know of it or has the name been changed. Thanks!

Agree can't find Molinmore Parish, no such parish in Donegal Read on: Refer to IreAtlas at: http://www.leitrim-roscommon.com/cgi-bin/iresrch there are: Mellamore, Melmore, Meentaghmore, Money More, Moneymore, Moymore, Mulnamin More, but I think it could be Mullanmore townland: Mullanmore 247 Donegal Boylagh Inishkeel Glenties Ulster Bob Cdn ==================================================== Bob Orr wrote: > One of my Love ancestors is said to come from Molinmore Parish, Co.

Bob, this is probably Malin More or Malinmore, which is not a parish itself but rather a townland within the parish of Glencolumbkille and barony of Banagh in Donegal. Also, the name Love appears in Phillimore & Thrift's Index to Wills in the Diocese of Raphoe 1684-1858 as published in "Families of County Donegal" by Michael C. O'Laughlin, Irish Genealogical Foundation, Kansas City, MO (2001). A partial .pdf of the book is available here: http://books.google.com/books?id=2dO4L8DDxG4C&pg=PA43&lpg=PA43&dq=donegal+pa rishes+Malinmore&source=bl&ots=spYi5bDsL6&sig=DisnJZDrUXTHf2ISQNBLPr1eANI&hl =en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=9&ct=result#PPA6,M1 Or go to www.books.google.com and search for "Families of Co. Donegal Ireland." I understand that, unfortunately, few actual wills have survived and indices are practically all that remain.
