Henry, ...and you are speaking MY language..... Thanks for the blurb on Donegal distilleries in Donegaleire, most informative. Love that Poitin. My cousin in Dublin hasn't been able to find it at the Dublin airport to bring it to me on her past several visits....so here I sit with my tongue hanging out. Now to the McFADDENS....My grandfather, John Sturges Walford, an Englishman from London, met and married an Irish girl, Sarah "Sally" Kelly, from Letterkenny in the US in 1889. They had three children. In about 1904, Sally longed for the 'auld sod' so they went TO Ireland and built a home on her father Charley Kelly's land in Breenaugh, just outside of Letterkenny. My father, John Sturges Walford, went to St Eunan's School there. His brother and sister married brother and sister McFaddens. ... Charles Walford married Elizabeth McFadden and Annie Walford married Hugh McFadden. The Walford home "Glen Villa " is still in Breenagh, now owned by the Quinns Does any of this ring a bell with you? Are we cousins, perhaps double cousins???? I'll drink to that! Eugenia Walford Gannon (age 85) Southern California
