Clan Updates July 2009

Website update: I made a few changes to the layout to streamline the information. Email me if you want to add more details to the genealogy information or notice spellings errors.

New members added: We have about 25 members with various spellings: Donegans/Dunigans/Dunagan/Dunnigan/Dunnegan! Has anyone made a connection? I added flag icons to help identify locations. As the list grows longer, I'll need to reorganize it for easy searching.

Register of Irish Clans: I received an email about joining the Clans of Ireland. Registering requires listing officers with at least 6 having the clan's surname and a 30 euro fee. Anyone interested?

Census information: The 1911 Ireland Census is available for a few counties (Donegal, Cork, Galway, Wexford and King's/Offaly) at http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/

Headstones: The website findagrave.com has hundreds of Donegans/Dunnegans/Dunigans/Dunnigans, etc. If you have additional information or photos, please consider adding to the site.

DNA project: Has anyone joined? There is a new feature that allows for donations to a General Fund to help defray costs. Of course, that requires the formation of a group project!

Links: I'm happy to link Donegan blogs, businesses, Flickr, Picasa, Ebay, Etsy, etc to the site. Send me an email with link.

Best, Sharon
