Hi Rocky111,

I hope we can make a connection, I know of a Curran relation who lives at the Roughan, big house on the right at the top of the hill. He has a brother who I met about 2 years ago, he farms on the other side of the town (last house before the bridge was his directions!)
I plan another trip to the Ramelton/Letterkenny area in June to attend a wedding, so perhaps we could meet up? I have a good deal more information on the Curran and Stevenson families than I admit to on the Board, it seems to have more than its share of know-it-all's!
I was in Conway's in August this year, a good pint of stout and the Blue Goat is a great shop.

I think that is my uncle who lives in the big house the man you need to chat to is Charlie who farms and lives close by he has a wealth of knowledge and can go back about 3 or 4 generations as one he wanight he informed me that fergusons from the high carin were also related and hynes from ramelton were also related to the currans

Thanks for getting back to me, yes it was Charlie I spoke to a couple of years ago, he said that the next time I came he would take me to High Carn and show me where the Stevenson's farmed.
Patsy Hynes who lived in Clydebank, near Glasgow, was Charlie & Peter's cousin, he was the rich one of the family! The Ferguson's were connected through Annie Stevenson, they didn't move from Ramelton, unlike most of her siblings, they lived at Clooney and are buried in the old churchyard with the ruined church, right in the middle of the town.
