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 . You can also visit the Message Boards at Rootsweb. http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/IRL/ ======================================================== Another very good site is the Y-IRL list which you join by going to the URL below and signing up as member. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Y-IRL/ ============================= http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~donegal/ http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hiflyte/ http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~donegaleire/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Y-IRL/ http://members.aol.com/lochlan2/donsourc.htm http://www.mindspring.com/~dickod1/donegal/index.htm Here is a Tate with an esther but I'm sure it not yours TATE, Matilda Bir 1868 Irel Arma Fa: William TATE Mo: Esther TATE Below are the birth from Donegal that are on the disk.
