I am looking for the village where my gg grandparents Cornelius O'Donnell and Margaret Conley lived in Donegal. Their daughter Susan, and sons Lauchlan, Cornelius and James emigrated to Melbourne, Australia in 1883.

  • I searched on the subscription site Roots Ireland and did not find any baptismal records or civil birth records for the children with the parents names listed in your message. Do you have approximate years of birth for the four children? Did any children stay in Ireland?

    As an aside there are two Cornelius Donnell records in the 1857 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing. The two parishes listed (Kilcar and Killybegs) have RC records starting in 1849 or 1850.

  • Hi Sandra!

    I checked again on two different subscription sites trying to find Susan's baptismal record but no record came up.
