Hello, Casher.
On the off-chance that you receive this note, via this bulletin board, four years later, I am interested in this family from the parish of Aglish, county Mayo. They seem to have occupied Annagh and Cloonkeen townlands when the 1901 and 1911 censuses were enumerated.
I am trying to find the parish and townland of origin in county Mayo for my 3rd great-grandmother, Mary McDonnell (1794–1869). Her father was John McDonnell, a smith by trade.
I have found a small DNA match, 13cM on one segment, with a young man who descends from one of these McDonnell families. If you have tested, perhaps we could compare shared matches? and if you haven't, could we share notes, please?
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Alison Kilpatrick
