The Catholic Church in Carndonagh is the Sacred Heart Church, and the only Catholic cemetery is the adjoining one. If you're actually going to Carndonagh, there's no missing it. If you want an address for the parish priest, just write to Fr. Seamus Farrelly, P.P., Carndonagh, Co. Donegal, Ireland. Unfortunately like most cemeteries in Ireland, the one in Carndonagh doesn't have any sort of index/plan of graves, and there are very, very little records of deaths/funerals kept there. A copy of the index to the baptismal and marriage records (basically all details from the actual register, except the witnesses) has been given to the local library (also easy to find) by the parish priest, and also the death register - this only is a couple of pages, with sketchy information about very few parishioners. The Carndonagh (Donagh) Catholic records start in 1847/1848. Regards, Michael --=======71932E4=======--
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!
