Doran's of Kilmacrenan/Derry

[forthefamily]

The parish records are few for this part of Donegal. Mostly you have to rely on luck. DNA has helped.

Hi ForTheFamily,

My apologies, I haven't used Rootschat in years, but I have still been doing my genealogy off and on since then. I have quite a bit more info now on the Doran's (originally Dorian of Fanad) and a bit on the McGowan's. Not aware of a Toner connection, but perhaps we could swap notes and see what more we can discover?

Hello

I'm sorry to say that after much research I have no idea what my connection is to that family.

I just noticed I have another DNA match that leads back to the Doran family. None of these matches are really close. I was interested in the McGowan connection as my grandmother was a McGowan.
