Lough Erne touches Donegal briefly at Belleek and near Pettigo. I would think that the Pettigo area is most likely. Regards, JC John Cunningham, Commons, Belleek, Co., Fermanagh, N. Ireland BT93 3ED Erneheritagetours.com Sapere Aude

John I have investigated further. One of the families said they were from Templecrone Parish. I wonder if they didn't mean Templecarn Parish? It looks like Pettigo might be part of Templecarn Parish but that Belleek would be part of Killbarron Parish. Looks like that might have been a hard place to make a living. I wonder if the Church records would reflect the departure of 90 families in 1790. That seems like a lot of people. And this was long before the famine, so mass departures might have been noticed more. Thanks, Phil p.s. Another website said the name of the ship they took from Londonderry in 1790 was "Eliza Jane", rather than the Eliza. The person who wrote the poem about the voyage said only "Eliza". But perhaps he hard a hard time getting anything to rhyme with "Jane". Adam4Eves@aol.com wrote: >Lough Erne touches Donegal briefly at Belleek and near Pettigo.
