I wonder if anyone is tracing their families that lived in the townlands of Lisnamuck, Kirley or Brackareilly? This area lies in the foothills of the Sperrin Mts. roughly btween Draperstown and Maghera.  I am currently trying to find out further information about the Donnelly family in the townland of Kirley.  However, to do this I am having to look at the neighbouring townlands (listed above) as there are further Donnelly families there.  I do have alot of research information, however, I was wondering if there are others that are reserching this area & may have married into the Donnelly family?  I thought it may be helpful to compare any information. Other families living in Kirley include many Lagans, McKenna's, Convery, Cassidy, McCusker, McWilliams ....well I could go on, but there are certain families that dominate this area.  The Donnelly's were Catholics and appear to have had their allegiance with the church in Glen (St Patrick's) rather than the RC Church in Draperstown. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thx.
