hello,
I have done lots of work on my own family tree and have decided to tackle my husbands tree which is not proving so easy! Can anyone suggest how I go about starting?
Here's what I know so far:
Noel Gallagher b. 1951, Ballhill Youth Hostel, Donegal (his parents were running the hostel). Brothers Ray and Nick Gallagher. Their parents were:
Patrick Gallagher b. 1911 Donegal and Mary Christina Maloney b. 1917 Donegal. They both died in Birmingham, England.
The parents of Patrick Gallagher (b. 1911) were Patrick Gallagher and Anne Henne. They both died in Ardara. Patrick had 4 brothers (Danny, Eddie, Joseph, Dennis) and 2 sisters (Kathleen & Bridget)
I don't know the names of Mary Maloney's parents except surnames were Maloney and Sweeney. Mary had a sister called Ethna who married John McCabe (Ardara)
The Heena name seemingly does not originate from Ireland and was taken to Ireland when a ship wrecked off Donegal and the 2 brothers who survived were named Henne. I can't find anything of great significance in my search for the Henne name either.
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Lindsay
