I know there was a Michael DONNELLAN, born 25 Sep 1837 in Clashduff (near Kilkishen, East Clare), Co. Clare, to Michael Donnellan and Anne Connell. His baptis- mal sponsors were John Connell and Grace Bethel. There is no mention of his existence in family oral history, but his two sisters Bridget and Catherine (my gggrand) survived and lived to ripe old ages in Philadelphia. Both Michaels and the mother Anne simply disappear after 1837. Bridget's death certifcate lists Patrick and Bridget Duggan as her parents, but that is known to be not biologically correct. Please, any clues as to Donnellans from East Clare. I correspond with two Donnellan descendants there, but they and their elders know nothing about my Donnellans. Sharon Carberry
