Hello Maureen There is a very good history of the Donovan Clan written by Miriam Donovan, a teacher at Cork Grammar School for the Clan Gathering last year. I believe it is still available from Regina Donovan (of Eagles Whistle fame) at rdonovan@flash.net. The area of southwest Cork were our homelands and kingdom and most Donovans eminate from there (Clonakilty, Drimoleague, Skibereen, and Donovans Castle). If you have not visited there it is a beautiful area with lovely friendly helpful people. I am lucky in a way,in that my line comes from Cloyne in eastern Cork so there are not too many different families to have to interpret. Hope this is of help.

I found Clonakily and made a copy of all the information in the article. My map was just of the counties and not detailed. Jeremiah is a very popular name. Shall keep you in mind if I come across one from Clonakilty born in 1858. Appreciate your reply. Maureen Charles: I appreciate all the information you shared with me. I plan to write to Msgr O'Sullivan and hopefully one of my relatives owns the Hart Restaurant and the Donovan Pub. I now have a map of County Cork with Clonakilty listed, thanks to Laura. It is so nice to receive interesting responses and I thank you for taking the time to tell me that there are many Harts & Donovans living in this area. I realize County Cork has many major cities and I actually don't know where my ggrandparents came from. So- I shall start looking for them in Clonakilty.
