As both our Durkin/Durkan/Durcan families originate from Culmore which is a small townland it would seem logical they are related but maybe its a long way back. Like you I will keep checking. I live in Galway, Ireland now having spent most of my life in London. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
