I read with interest the topic of Armstrong County families from Donegal. I recently discovered that my ancestors, Forquer and/or Forker were from County Donegal, the village of Anagry. I found this in the "At Rest In These Hills" cemetery listing. I would imagine a lot of immigrants followed friends or relatives to a given area. I am beginning a search on Donegal immigration and will gladly share information. I am sure there will be several families that tie together. Paul W.
