Col, Thank you for the research of my ancesters. My next step would be to contact Galway and see what records they could locate. I'll start that process this week. Hopefully I will find the missing pieces that will lead me back to Ireland.

Hi Mitzie, I am the Chairperson of Ireland XO - but also Tiernascragh is my home parish. There is a well established Donnelly family in the Parish and they will no doubt be interested to hear from you. I'll see if I can connect you online. Will be in contact... Mike
Hi Mike,
I can not express my gratitude enough for your assistance in search of my DONNELLY family. And yes, I would be interested in corresponding with a DONNELLY connection in Tiernascragh. This line of DONNELLY married a MARTIN line.
In your previous email you referenced a MITCHELL line. Unfortunately, to my knowledge that is not my line. For the family looking for that information I needed to clear that up.
MARTIN was a larger family throughout Galway and further back ROBERT MARTIN, "Tribe of Fourteen". This my be a challenge to isolate my line. I have wondered if there are any geneology books and/or reference material on the MARTIN line from ROBERT MARTIN. I have been working on it. But haven't been able to track the line successfully to America, as yet.
Well, this was to be a quick thank you and a note to clear up the MITCHELL connection and I have rambled on. Not to take up any more of your time but to express my gratitude for your assistance. Thank you.
Best Regard,
Mitzie (TnLass)
