Title: Donovan Mss
Post by: cyclamen on Thursday 23 June 11 15:27 BST (UK)

I have recently been sent a family tree at the top of which was written "Donovan Mss" and a page number. There was another jotting which said the tree was in an envelope of pedigrees. Is anyone able to tell me more about the Donavan pedigrees? I am presuming they can be accessed in the National Archives?

I looked online at the national archives website - searching yielded 310 matches of documents with "donovan" in them - perhaps you can narrow these down online before checking further?

Hi,
   The PRONI e-Catalogue (Northern Ireland) has 69 entries for "Donovan".

Regards

Thanks! There is also a possibility that these pedigrees are in Armagh Museum. Some of the other papers I was given came from there. I think I will just have to start and work my way through the two websites.

Do you mean Armagh County Museum, Regimental Museum or the Armagh Public Library?
