Donegal / Re: McCauley & Gill Families Moville

We believe Brenard and Thomas were brothers probably both born in Moville and to a Scotts father and a lovely Irish lady. The first born of both Bernard and Thomas were given the name Michael, so it might be possible to assume their Scottish father was named Michael. Where do I find baptismal records for the churches in Moville? Bernard's son Michael was born in 1856 and Thomas's Michael was born in the USA in 1864. Michael McCauley born in Moville in 1856 had a son Michael and his grandson Michael are all listed as seaman in the 1901 Irish census. Thomas McCauley living in Oyster Bay, New York was also a bayman (clam dealer) as were several of his sons. From looking at the Irish census results there are zero results from Donegal for the 1821, 1841 and 1851 as they were all burned.
