Lower Fahan Inishowen
« on: Monday 10 August 09 12:09 BST (UK) »


I am visiting Inishowen next week looking for my GG granda Daniel Barr who was RC who states in 1911 census born lower Fahan.  I was going to visit Long tower RC in Derry city too before heading up Buncrana way. Any tips would help, ta!

There's a very good booklet on tracing Donegal ancestors and lots of other information on Co. Donegal Resources in the stickied posts at the top of the Donegal board.

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Hello

I to am on my way to Donegal next week and have been advised to look at the Cardonagh and Letterkenny Library's for help.  If you go onto the Cardonagh Library  website it will link you to what they hold in the way of resource to help in your family history search.  They do seem to hold quite a bit and some information on wills.

You may find that Buncranna library offers the same if not more information.


Good Luck
