I have many more records of this family, but these should be sufficient to make connections, if there are some. From my research, I am almost convinced that Br. #3, come from here. Those branches that can only say they came from near Londonderry, or "the North of Ireland, should consider the possibility of a connection. Obviously, it's still going to take a lot of work, but I hope that Andrew's family in Australia, will now be able to make a connection with those still living in Donegal, and Londonderry.
