Dear Pete: As I wrote to another responder (it is so wonderful to have a plethora of knowledgeable people on this listserve), I am now starting to consider where else my Spence family could have resided besides County Donegal. Previously I had thought it most likely that both my gg grandmother and gg grandfather were from the Donegal area. It appears that is not the case, so I am open to any and all information that helps me pinpoint other options. Thanks for expanding my horizons!

Jackie at jackie@therapypets.com writes: << The confusing thing is trying to find where Glencar is. >> Jackie, Further on from the good information given you by David, Glencar is a Lough, roughly split between Sligo and Leitrim counties. The area around the eastern end (Leitrim) of the picturesque lough is identified as "Glencar (Gleann an Chairthe)" on the Disc. map 16. This area is mostly centered in the townlands of Sranea and Sracreeghan. I'd put this sparsely-populated area at about 6 miles NE of Sligo town.
