Lindel: Thank you for placing your book list. It's wonderful to find them in one place - saves us a lot of "surfing." May I add a few from my own "wee" library in addition to some you listed? Maybe others can add to it also. The Story of The Rosses - by Ben O'Donnell The Battle Book of the O'Donnells by Douglas Chretien (out of print, but may find a copy where they sell out of print/rare books - that's how I got my copy a few years back) Paddy's Lament - Ireland 1846-1847 - Prelude to Hatred by Thomas Gallagher Though not exclusively about Donegal, it's an excellent source for detailing the ramifications and emotions of those terrible years in Irish history. The Famine Ships - The Irish Exodus to America by Edward Laxton Another on the famine and emigration of the Irish Emigrants and Exiles - Ireland and the Irish Exodus to North America by Kerby A. Miller Still another on the emigration I know I'll be adding some on your list to my library in the future. Thanks again God bless, Diann
