Drumaroad & Clanvaraghan - Link
« Reply #2 on: Tuesday 05 June 07 15:52 UTC (UK) »
Patrick Clarke's History of Drumaroad website contains interesting local historical information about the parish of Drumaroad & Clanvaraghan, sometimes called Drumaroad. It also records some of the interesting historical features of the parish, the families and personalities who lived and passed through it in the course of the centuries.

The site contains articles about the Forde Estates and Drumaroad, the Franciscans of Drumnaquoile, Charles de Gaulle, the McCartans of Kinelarty and the Savages of Drumaroad.

Links - Portavogie History
« Reply #3 on: Monday 23 July 07 15:53 UTC (UK) »
The Portavogie History site contains several articles which should be of interest to people who have ancestors from that area of Co. Down including the Portavogie School Roll (transcribed by James Mahood) which covers the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century as well as a list of people in the village who signed the 1912 Ulster Covenant.    

Some of the surnames found in the Portavogie area are ...

Coffey, McClements, Mahood, Palmer and Robinson.
