These 715 baptism entries are a work in progress. The original records are very difficult to read however, that is not the only problem with them. Roseann and I are persisting though, as these start very early for Catholic records in Donegal. Here are some things to bear in mind while viewing what we have online so far:

Comments about the typing:

  1. Difficult to read Mabia (Maeve) vs. Maria
    Maeve is a popular name around NW Donegal - lots of girls were named “Mary” as a first name but were called by a middle name so these will require a second look.
  2. Gallagher is supposed to be the most common name in Donegal and often seems to be abbreviated as just “Gall.” (or “Gallr.” or “Gal.”) but I am not sure why or if the name should be Gallagher at all.
  1. Difficult to read Peter or Patrick – often abbreviated as Pet with a supra-“r”
  2. Don’t think  Rye is the same as Raymunterdoney? (There is a small village called Rye just outside Falcarragh.)  I believe Raymunterdoney was the parish name.......may be the townland of Ray in Raymunterdoney?
  3. Tory names of Duggan/Doohan/Duhan are actually different families so I have left records as I read them
  4. Sponsors’ names when written with '&' probably indicate marriage (as in James & Margaret Gallagher), but when the names are James Gallagher & Margaret Gallagher it is more difficult to know their relationship
  5. Some names are still in Irish, such as Hanorah, because it is hard to know what English version (Hannah, Nora, Anna, Nancy, etc.) the person actually used. Eugene is Owen not Edward; John, Sean and Owen are often interchangeable as first names – so I’ve left it as written unless I am sure.............Nigel is sometimes “Neil” but not always.
  6. Some entries have ditto marks (“) that could be mistaken for 11 or vice versa (11 that looks like “ditto”)
