I cannot help you but you might find the following list of Donegal placenames a useful tool. _http://www.donegalcoco.ie/donegalplacesnames.htm_ (http://www.donegalcoco.ie/donegalplacesnames.htm) then click this list in the first paragraph which will take you to a 5 page list of Donegal placenames with Irish translation. It is a good resource and is growing I believe over time. Judy In a message dated 8/28/2008 10:17:40 A.M.

I can't quite read the place that he was born in in Ireland. Possible interpretation are Strongophpy, Stingoplipy, Stengophpy. Do any of these place names sound even vaguely familiar to anyone?
