Finding lost family in Ardara, Donegal. GIVEN family please help.

[Fran!]

Hi im looking for family of my dad Hugh Given who passed away many years ago, he was from Donegal most probably Ardara born in 1917 but moved to Plymouth England later on. He had many brothers and sisters that moved all over from ireland. We think one sister was called Eileen. And think his mum and dad were called William and Teresa Given.
Its been quite hard to find any info but we want to find and meet our lost family and our roots so if you have any information please help it will be much appreciated. Thank You.

Hi Fran
there is a family on the 1911 census for Ardara
Mother's name is Teresa but the father is called Thomas
I know your father was not born until 1917 but there are 3 children I can't put their names on here
in case they are still living

Hello Fran.

I did send a reply earlier, a couple or three days ago actually.
No reply yet.... If you've changed your e.address we're stuffed and you won't see this. Hopefully you will.

Hi Kev
Fran hasn't been online since November 09
the only thing you can do is wait and see if she has
clicked the notify button  which means she would get an email
telling her that there are replies to her post, and even sending her a pm
she would need to be online to recieve it so
other than that I am afraid there is no other way of contacting
her  on here
Elaine
btw welcome to Rootschat 
nice to welcome a fellow Given researcher, even though they are different families
