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.
