I Go To Ramelton Every Easter and I Love It.Does Anyone Know If Theres A Funfair Like The "Cullens Funfair" last Easter (in 2008). If Your Looking For Things To Do CLIMB MOUNT ERIGAL, Unreal, but bring water and good tough boots. Also, the leisure centre in Letterkenny is brilliant!http://www.auraleisurecentres.ie/
So if your "thinking" about going to donegal, stop thinking and just GO!

| Hi George and Ina
Finally got everything arranged for our trip.
We fly into Shannon July 7th via Dublin,hired a car and will be heading up to Ramelton in time for the Festival opening on the 10th.
We'll be making a few stops along the way up to Ramelton to see some of the interesting sights.
Looking forward to seeing you all again,son John and his wife Bridget will be with us and he's looking forward to meeting his aunt Jean Norry and family,also his McGarvey cousins etc.,and all the fine people of Ramelton. Unfortunately we will not see cousin Norman McGarvey who died recently,
We fly back to Canada July 21st.
Till then !
Frank and Frances McGonigal Brampton Ont.Canada

Hi Frank & Frances,
that's good news.
Looking forward to see you all at the festival which certainly will be as good as the last one (or even better?!).
We are pretty sure John will enjoy the driving on Irish roads and should be used to it when you arrive
Co. Donegal.
THERE ARE NEVER PROBLEMS, ONLY CHALLENGES!!!
Take care

My grandfather, Bernard Aloysius McBride, was born in Woodquarter/Cranford in 1899 and my extended family is from and still is located in the Ramelton area. I enjoyed reading the history of the town as well as viewing the old pictures. Nice work and I'm sure I'll be back often to look for updates. | |

Great to have those photos of the town in bygone years.
Hoping to be back next year with our son John and his wife Bridget,he's never been to his mothers birth town,and his McGarvey,Quinn,Strain and Trearty and Rockford ancestors.
He'll be doing the driving :o).
All the best,keep up the great work that you're doing.

| Hi,
I've been meaning to email you for a long time. Congratulations on a fantastic website. You are doing a great service for us Ramelton people who are geographically removed from local information and happenings, but who love to feel that we are still part of it all.
I must also congratulate and thank the St Mary's reunion committee. It was an event never to be forgotten. One of the things that made it so special was all the little reunions that were making up the big one. I haven't been in Ramelton at the same time as my 4 sisters for many years. It's obvious a lot of hard work went in to the arranging of it by people who gave freely and voluntarily of their time. I would like them to know that it was very much appreciated by those who attended.

Well Eileen, yours and some other comments are the reason we are still keeping this website up to date.

| Amazing how technology has transformed the little town where I used to holiday in the late 60s!! Coincidently I am flying out tomorrow morning with my brother to visit our roots. My Mother was Kathleen Mc Fadden and our family onced owned the Bridge Bar, Chip shop, shop and Star Cinema when it was in its heyday. The references to Bank terrace by Brian McGeever brought back memories as I remeber Mrs McGeever well and have fond memories of Mrs Whoriskey. I loved to help her feed and collect eggs from her chickens and guinea fowl she kept next to the graveyard at the top of the terrace.My uncle Hugh and wife Peg are still living at Bridge End and the Bridge Bar will be on our itinery as always.Stange to see Frank Mc Faddens posts - might be my cousin.

WE SINCERELY HOPE ANOTHER BANK WILL TAKE OVER THE PREMISES SOON AND SO ENABLE LOCAL CUSTOMERS AND BUSINESSES TO FEEL VALUED HOWEVER LARGE OR SMALL THEIR BANK BALANCE MIGHT BE. I FEAR BIG BUSINESS FORGETS THAT ITS' PYRAMID BASE IS MADE UP OF THE GOOD WILL OF THE MAN IN THE STREET. IT IS A SHAME GOOD CUSTOMERS AREN'T HELD IN HIGHER REGARD.

| Your website is so interesting. I was interested in your site to learn more of Ramelton and the surrounding community. The brother of my great grandfather Patrick Dill Hay was given a gold log chain and watch by the historic Presbyterian Church in Ramelton when he immigrated to the United States. The brother\'s name was William Hay who was married to Elizabeth Black. Patrick Dill Hay and his wife Mary Jene Heron along with their children immigrated to the State of Iowa in the United States about 1883. Their daughter Rebecca Campbell Hay is my grandmother. I am interested in the Hay, Dill, Campbell genealogy. The other side of my family with the name Shean came from southern Ireland. Hope everyone in Ramelton is having a great day and will talk again soon | |

I am from Panama, Panama. In search of my name origin I came accross with your site and believe there is some connection in finding some answers to my ancestry quest. My surname is probably a variant of your beautiful hometown name. If anyone feels that could share some insight about the origins, it will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You. | |

| Samuel Russell and Mary Watt lived in Ramelton,in the 1600s.Their grandson John Buchanan left their son's home for Pennsylvania,married,and his son became our President John Buchanan.This is my grandmother's family background.Samuel Russell had a 230 acre farm,the Big Airds and raised sheep.150 years later the Russells were raising sheep in Iowa.My son Chris just came back from R. and he found the foundation of their home. Thanks museum/geneology gentlewoman for your kind help. Your website is marvelous. My father's ancestor John Barnett married Jeanett Power in Derry cathedral in 1701 and also came to PA with his family in 1730. The two families finally married in Iowa in 1890.We are still all Presbytrians.A thrill to have found such a delightful,historic town in our background.Lorrie | |

| What a beautiful site - congratulations.
My great-grandparents were married at the Chapel of Burt in 1884 and their 2 eldest children were born in Ramelton, they then came over here to Scotland and had 4 more. Their names were Joseph Curran and Bridget McCafferty, both born about 1865, probably in Ramelton. Joseph's parents were Patrick Curran and Catherine Steenson (or Stevenson) Bridget's parents were Charles McCafferty and Sarah Kerr (or Carr). Joseph had at least one sister - Catherine, she maried John McDade in or around Ramelton about 1884, they came to Scotland about 1890 and went to Ontario about 1912.
As far as I know, all of Bridget McCafferty's siblings came over to Scotland. Her eldest sister Sarah married Hugh docherty at St Johnston Donegal in 1883, then came over to Dumbarton.
I would be delighted to correspond with anyone researching these families.

Hello again!
I am living vicariously through your website. I was unable to go to the festival last year or this (a new grand daughter) but I am reading your local news to keep up to date - in case I will be tested later - so please keep up the good work. I am anxiously awaiting the photos of this year’s Lennon Festival. We always stay at Anne and Bert’s and we miss the good craic of the singing pub contest. We have a favorite but it would be unfair to say.
I know that Terry is Norman name (common in Cork) but my mom is an O’Connor, with Brennan and other original Irish ancestors thrown in to the mix. I found them buried in Elphin, County Roscommon and more in Carlow. Having said that, I am drawn to your area of Donegal. Perhaps it is the Scottish Kennedy’s and McCullough that also permeate my ancestral past.
Continually updating my website, I understand the effort involved but I wanted you to know that there are many like myself that are waiting for the photos from this year’s festival. This should not be taken as anything but an appreciation of your efforts to bring the world a slice of “life in Ramelton”. Many of us depend upon your efforts.
I understand it rained quite a bit this year and I consider that an added benefit when I visit. It builds character. This year, here in Marin County (near Napa) California it has been 70-78 almost every day at mid day - boring. Living near the Pacific Ocean we have early morning fog and if I get up and out around 6 a.m., I can almost smell Ireland on the breeze. Thank God for these small favors – an early morning whiff of Ireland.
Missing you and yours and especially Ramelton, hoping all is well.

Congratulations to your new grand daughter and many many thanks for your lovely words.
With a little help of the 'Tirconnail Tribune' (added to our photos) we can give you and anybody else now some impressions of this years festival.
The 'Tribune' also provides us with the weekly news which we put online Thursdays (mostly).
Nice to get some response for the effort.
So we'll try again to keep you all up to date.
Regards from sunny and dry (!!!) Ramelton

| My Aunt Annie (Divers) Murray and Uncle John Murray lived in Ramelton - last time I was there was 44 years ago. My cousins James, David, John, Martha and Susan had moved up to the new houses near the beautiful old church. I will be visiting again in October. I am sure I will be amazed and impressed with all the changes. My grandparents were James and Nancy Ward Divers. | |

Hi Elizabeth,
we are pretty sure that there were some changes in the last 44 years but find out by yourself. | |
