Barretts of Donegal

[Bikerchick64]

Thank you so very much!  I knew about Michael and Eleanor but not Maurice and Judith...  This gives me something to run on.  But I'll still leave this topic open as I hope someone else will be able to sa, "Hey!  I'm related to these folks so hello there, cousin!"  Or one can only hope.

Hi again

I know its backwards I'm going again but a good friend of mine told me once .

   That in the Parish of Knockgraffon where names like Hyland, Luddy, Barrett, O'Donnell, Kenneally all came up from Clogheen/Ballyporeen and continued to go back down that way to be buried until well into this century .

I believe that is what my cousins said as well - that my great grandfather was buried with kin in the Clogheen area.  I will have to find it the next time I am in Tipperary.
