I hope to visit the townland of my grandmother, Ellen O'Donnell, born 5 Apr 1875 in Magheralahan, Clonmany, Co Donegal in two weeks, mid-March.  I also have references to Magheranaul.  Is Magheralahan and Magheranaul one and the same place?  What are does Clonmany cover geographically?  I leave for Ireland from Boston on the 13th of March.  Any and all assistance will be much appreciated.  Thank you.

  • Hi there Paul,

    Apologies for the delay in replying to you. 

    Magheranaul is in the Isle of Doagh and Magheralahan is at Staths - both in Clonmany Parish and a few miles apart.

    When you come to Clonmany, maybe you could email me and we can arrange to meet and I could show you where both places are.  I am doing a little work on your family now for you, and I would be able to show you the exact house that your grandmother was born in using land records.

    My email address is:

    Regards,
