HELLO JOHN, Welcome to the world of international family genealogy. You should be warned, though, that this world is highly viral; once you get the "bug", so-to-speak, there's no cure; you just have to continually feed it to keep it at bay. With respect to my Co Donegal Haggerty's, I know little. My Ggp's, Peter Haggerty & Nancy McGuire along with his mother Mary, arrived in NB Canada ~1825, then moved on to Maine USA ~1830. If he had siblings or other family in North America or Ireland at that time it is not known to me. USA & Canada records, as yet, have yielded nothing. Present family members have no knowledge of their Co Donegal history. These members have also been to Donegal searching for some trace of them, but without any luck. I've contacted a couple of Co Donegal genealogy society's for information, but to no avail; nothing is known about them. The early 1800's were a little to soon for record keeping in that remote part of Ireland, I guess. Maybe a RCChurch will surface one day and yield all of the Haggerty family history, who knows. Please give me all of the details of your Haggarty experience in both Donegal & the UK. It may give us a lead to other things. You may also wish to join the Hagerty/Hegarty/Donegaleire Rootsweb sites, all 3 are very helpful in spreading the word. Unfortunately, the names that you have mentioned, in your note to me, Hugh Haggarty & Mary McGarvie dont register with me. You mentioned seeing my 1999 website, since then, I've updated it a number of times. The address is noted below. Good luck in your search; I did mention above that it was a viral activity; its also much fun, so have fun as well.
