Hi Dave, They could be part of my Dolans, the area is certainly right. Double plots and large or multiple gravestones are a feature of the family even here in Oz. Could you kindly send me an email attachment of the grave in a couple of day's time? That would be wonderful. Today or tomorrow I am having my new computer installed - Windows 8.1 (yuk!) 8 gig RAM, 1 tb hard disc etc, which will put this dear little 2RAM laptop back in the cupboard. It is almost impossible to do the things on it that I have done. Which is why I have not searched very much in Cavan to date. After the Ferrari is installed and the VW Bug is put to sleep just watch me go:) Thanks so much for thinking of me, Dave, as I need to find this family before they farmed Meenagleragh pre c1820's and where they went after it was sold in the 1950's, and their rellies over all that time in Cavan. Dee. -----Original Message----- From: fermanagh-gold-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:fermanagh-gold-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Dave H via Sent: Saturday, 7 March 2015 6:33 PM To: fermanagh-gold@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: FERMANAGH-GOLD Parishes.... DOLAN Dee, did you ever decide where tour Dolans came from?? I was looking through all my photos taken years ago and there is a triple plot for Dolans at the C Of I at Drumreilly... In Co. Leitrim BUT in walking distance of Magauran's Castle in Co. Cavan.. Do you have names/dates from more recent times?? It's just a photo showing 3 g/stones in same plot, some is legible some is not as it was just a general snapshot so not on IGP.
