Trying to figure out the name of Civil Parish you are looking for or happen to come from can tend to be confusing. The reason is that these Parish names are never really referenced nowadays in documentation, compared to Census Records, Birth, Marriage and Deaths Records that were filled up back in the early 1800’s up to the mid to late 1900’s. To help find the correct NAMES we have produced a handy list of the Civil Parishes, displaying them simply as North-West Donegal, SW, SE, and North-East Donegal.
You can see the NAME of the Civil Parish on the left (which is a link) followed by a village, town or named feature that will help orientate you to the Parish you need. Clicking on these links below will bring you directly to the Ireland-Reaching-Out Parish Page where you can see all the local information that has been posted up for your Parish.
