Place name - Burnerana, Donegal?- completed
« on: Thursday 12 July 07 13:59 BST (UK) »

Well that's what I thought as well but I've been seeing this place name a lot recently so I thought I'd ask just in case it actually is another place and not Buncrana:)

Thanks Mossy.

I've seen so many spelling of the various townlands that I'm looking for that I lose it sometimes. I went on one wild goose chase up to Fanad when I should have been looking at Kilmacrenan. Oh well.

Regards,
