| Hi Everyone
My wife Frances (nee McGarvey)and I,and our son John and wife Bridget just spent a great two weeks in Ramelton and surrounding areas.
Enjoyed the Festival and pubs..it's the first time our son has visited his mums birth town.
He really enjoyed a couple of nights in the pubs with the singing etc.It was all new to him and he intends to go back again soon.
Our thanks to Eugene and Jean Norry (my wifes sister) for letting us stay with them.
My wife had a reunion with all her sisters, two came over from Scotland and England.
Had a chat with George and Ina who host this great web site.
Thanks Ramelton for a great time.

We had a great time as always. The Festival and as usual, gallons of McDaid's Banana! I practically lived on the stuff during the school holidays.
And a big Hi to the McDaid girls, wherever you are.

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 !

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

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.

| The old national School Renuion (Aug 8th-10th)
Well done to all the hard working committee who organised the school renunion.It was a great success and it was lovely to see so many people attend this. The weather was great for the weekend and the beautifully produced book was a lovely momento of the occasion.

You're absolutely right. It was a great weekend!
We added a page to 'Festival/Events' with some pictures of the weekend and a comment written by John McAteer of the Tirconaill Tribune.

| 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. Have to e mail and find out...... | |

| VERY SORRY TO HEAR OF THE CLOSURE OF THE NIB IN RAMELTON. WE ARE MOVING TO THE AREA AND WE WERE HOPING TO MOVE OUR BANK ACCOUNT TO RAMELTON. 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.

I am visiting Ramelton in August to find out more about where my grandfather, William Brown was born - Castle Stree, I think. His father, also William was a baker in the town, although not sure where.
Would love to hear from anyone with any suggestions! | |

| 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 | |

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 | |

| Hi George and Ina
Thanks for the photos of a snow covered Ramelton,certainly looks different with a covering of snow,I hope it didn't cause too many problems for the Rameltonians !
We've had our share of snow here too,but it's been very mild and the snow is melting,just a January thaw,we still have a lot of winter left yet.
Regards
Frank and Frances McGonigal Brampton Ontario Canada. | |

Hi Frank & Frances,
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOURS!
HAVE A GOOD ONE!
It was a lot of fun, at least for the children.
Everything else was chaos on the roads.
24 hours later the snow was gone
and now we’re back to normal.
Regards to Canada
George & Ina | |

| Hello,
What a great webpage!
Last October my Irish-American fiancee and I made our first trip to Ireland and I fell in love with your beautiful country. My only regret is not being able to spend more time in the lovely countryside. We are now considering having our wedding ceremony in his homeland!
Wishing everyone a wonderful and peaceful New Year. | |

| 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.
Keep up the good work with the web site.
All the best,
Jim. | |

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 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. | |

| I was sooo excited to discover this website; I'm the daughter of Andrew & Sheila McGarvey.Imagine my surprise to see a photo of my Uncles Ian & Ronald at the Festival. I've wonderful memories of Ramelton; the jaunting cart with Grandad;my Gran saying Och, leave the wee bairns alone. Eating raspberry ripple wafers; we were terribly spoiled. The memories of the beautiful ocean and countryside, wild strawberries, collecting honey; chasing a hen and chicks at the Ralston farm; being trapped in the cow barn by Uncles who squirted me with milk ..YUK .. Yes I had a temper and when they let go of me!!! Now I live in the USA and work in Aerospace..I plan to return to Ramelton and recharge my old memories. It appears I have some relatives on the Guestbook .. love to hear from you. | |

Thanks Margaret,
we guess there are also some relatives in the town and not only in the guestbook.
What a nice change between Ramelton and Aerospace. We know that feeling only reversely but love to be here now.

| Recently vacationed in Ramelton. My father-in-law was born there, so it was a great thrill for my wife and I to be there. He lived on Back Street. I would guess some of the homes there were from his time, which would be the early 1900. | |

What a great web site I can keep up to date with local activities while I live elsewhere. I lived in Ramelton during the seventies and have some good friends there I have been back a couple of times since then and hope to return for the 2007 Lennon Festival
Best Regards

| Rolled through Ramelton a week ago while on my holidays. I'm from Scotland. I would like to uproot Ramelton and bring it back to Scotland with me. The charming Lennon and great people could come too and have some traditional haggis. Instead of exchanging cultures we could just import yours? Eire go bra! | |

What about "cloning"?
Every country should have their own Ramelton and the Irish Rameltonians could stay where they are!

| Hi
Seeing the DVD for sale ( I may buy it ) reminds me that last year an aquaintance sent me a DVD made from Paddy Williams home movies called "Memories of Ramelton".
It includes scenes of the Lennon Festivals around 1972-1977.
It also includes the bus runs from Clydebank to Ramelton around the same time.
I believe that Eugene Norry (my wifes brother in law) was involved in organizing it.
The quality is not great,but my wife Frances,nee McGarvey,enjoyed seeing her Dad "Big Bob McGarvey" and sisters in it.

Hi again,
we’ll ask Eugene how he was involved in this historic movie.
Regarding our DVD, we put a lot of our photos from the website on it,
supported it with some good music and hope everybody will enjoy watching it on the Tele.

Kids with cones of icecream a meltin',
Pints of beer pulled from the fridge,
The Lennon flows 'neath the bridge.
The birds they fly in Ramelton's sky,
Donegal's jewel - and that's no lie,
Is this town's heart and soul you see,
Ramelton you really are lovely. | |

Hi Lee,
the winter at the moment isn’t too bad and the mobile home is still there (Brannigans?). So, why don’t you come over? Otherwise it’s certainly more convenient to see Ramelton from the PC. But sometimes it has to be the Original. Right?
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

| I came with my wife, Gladys, on 9/20/05 and loved your town. My interest was to see where my ancestors lived before coming to America. I am a decendant of William and Joshua Russell who migrated in 1812. I found some grave markers at the abandon church. I would like to know the name of the church. I also spoke to Bobby Steward and he directed me to the old Russell's farms, the big arbs and wee arbs and the old mill on the river.
I found everyone extremely friendly and helpful. It was too bad that we did not have more time to enjoy your area.
I thank the people for their hospitality.
Sincerely
Ken and Gladys Lewis

| My wife and I have attended the Lennon Festival four times and we really enjoyed ourselves. I notice that my wife is actually in one of your photos at the reception. I know she will be surprised when I show her. Would you be interested in some photos of the festival previous years?
I am happy to see that Ramelton has such a quality website so full of life; I feel that I am almost there. I spent a small bit of time with Eugene Norris, Thomas Harte, Kathleen Duffy, Bert and Anne Campbell and I enjoyed every minute of it. You have a wonderful community that epitomizes the famous "Irish Hospitality".
We actually met this years winning pub singer Sarah Terry last year in the Bridge Bar during the Singing Pub Contest. Being of the same name I introduced myself to Michael and he introduced me to his family.
I would like to thank the people of Ramelton for putting together a very fine festival and I hope to enjoy myself there in the years to come. And thank you George and Ina for the good work you are doing on this website. You are linked into my website indirectly but I am going to add a direct link so that I can tell my friends that instead of listening to me talk about the great time I had in Ramelton they can go to your site and see it for themselves.
Thanks,
Philip Terry

Hi Philip,
we are overwhelmed of this comment and want to thank you also in behalf of the Ramelton people.
To build a website and to make photos about this town isn’t too difficult because you are always inspired of your surroundings.
You feel the friendliness and helpfulness of this community every day which gives us the feeling to be a part of it and a first class quality of life.
We’ll try our best to continue this website and with compliments like yours the work is much easier.
Thanks again

| Hi George and Ina
Hope we didn't cause too much trouble by taking over your B&B for the Festival week.
I'm sure the neighbours will be glad that we've gone.
My wifes family had a great time there with relatives coming to Ramelton from Scotland,England and Ireland,and of course Frances and I from Canada.
It was the 70th birthday "SURPRISE"? bash for Eugene Norry,my wifes brother in law.We stayed with her sister Jean,at Bridgend.
It was great meeting you both in person,you are a very nice couple,I'm sure that anyone who books your B&B will agree to that.
The Festival was as usual a great success,my wife Frances was very pleased to be able to ride in one of Eddie Ferrys'antique cars in the parade.
Continued good luck to you both.
All the best,
Frank & Frances McGonigal

Hi Frank & Francis,
good to read that you enjoyed the festival as we did.
Eugene’s birthday was really a big surprise. Nearly everybody in the town knew about it.
We also would like to give back the compliments. It was a pleasure to meet you in person.
All the best

bin so zufällig über eure Seite gestolpert. *grats* Ich war noch nie in Irland und möchte das aber ändern. Jetzt mal zu meiner Frage: Kann man in Ramelton (oder Umgebung) auch Arbeiten und so ca. ein halbes Jahr leben? Ich bin in der Tourismusbranche tätig und vielseitig einsetzbar. :)
ich dachte ich schreib das einfach mal hier rein. vielleicht kann man sich ja weiters übers e-mail austauschen...

Man muss ja nicht gleich mit Arbeit in Irland anfangen, sondern mit Urlaub und dafuer ist Donegal und speziell Ramelton ideal. Versuch es mal!

| It wa a true joy to visit Ramelton last week (5/05)! Ramelton is where several generations of my family lived for many years and had a thriving General Store. It was my first, but not last, visit! The town was so charming and beautiful. The people were so nice. I briefly met Ena Corry, a distant relative, who owns the Crammond House B&B. She couldn't have been any nicer! I also met Mr. Gamble at his shop and he was so kind to give me some historical photos of my family's business from the 1800's. I hope to visit again soon and will stay much longer the next time.
Also, if anyone has any other historical photos or information of any of the Corry's, I would appreciate it if you would email me. Thanks! | |

Further to my previous email about
my grandmother Sophia McKendrick born in 1886 in the Ramelton area Her father was William McKendrick and her mother was Winifred (Eunice)Dunleavy. Sophia Worked as a young woman in a Pub in Ramelton at that time Called Sweeney's; she left Ramelton for Scotland and got married to my Grandfather Edward Gaffney from Cavan.
Winifred had a sister Mary who married William Doherty in Ramelton in 1908.

We are visiting Ireland again this July 2005, but are going to the town of Clifden. Would truly love to take the ride to visit Ramelton again but I don't think the time will allow it. Have fun at this years Lennon festival...We did when we were there! Your website looks GREAT!

Hi Doris,
thanks for your nice description of the people of Ramelton. You are absolutely right!
To visit Clifden and Connemara is great, but it is greater if you can go back to Ramelton.
Unfortunately you would need 4 hours on these excellent Irish roads.
Enjoy it but come back!
Thanks again

| Ramelton is beautiful! I was referred to this site by Frank McGonigal for I was in search of some leads on my Irish Ancestry. I am a descendant of a WIlliam McGarvey and Nancy(Anna) Coyle born about 1850 in Ramelton. They had several children (Frances, Nora, Sophia, Patrick, Annie, William, Bridget) born between 1871 and 1885 in Ramelton. Except for Frances and Patrick all emigrated to the US. Sophia McGarvey is my great grandmother who came here as a domestic working in Brooklyn, NY. She married a man named Henry Formont in NY. I understand that there are a few McGarveys in Ramelton but if any can help me in my ancestral quest I would be appreciative. I hope to visit Ramelton in the upcoming years as it looks and sounds wonderful. | |

I'm an amateur photographer from Down. I've visited Rathmelton several times with my cameras, usually quite early in the morning. I'm hoping to get time for a longer visit later in the year.
There are few towns in Ireland (and I've been in or passed through most) that have the charm and character of Rathmelton. I've a page on my site that has a few images of the town.
I'm glad to see this site and I hope it helps to generate some interest and income. Good luck for the future!

| hi george and ina,i'm back on your site again. i recently came across the "index to the tithe applotment book for ramelton, 1830. my understanding is that this is some sort of listing of Church of Ireland members. anyway, my areaof interest is William Mcgarvey b. 1814 donegal. there are 2 william mcgarvey's listed in the ramelton index. i'm wondering if anybody out there has any ideas or hints as to my next step. i've also found one william mcgarvey in the 1830 tullaghobegly tithe applotment listing, that particular william is listed as coming from knockastolla. i enjoy reading and researching county donegal, i'm really anxious to visit there next year. thanks again. | |

Hi Ronald,
many thanks for your guestbook entry.
Since last year, we got a lot of guestbook entries and emails for tracing ancestors in or around Ramelton. Unfortunately, we are not able to help, but hopefully there are other visitors of this site who could do that.
Therefore, we used the opportunity to provide and manage a new RAMELTON-FORUM.
This place might give everybody the chance to query, to answer or even to greet somebody.
We honestly hope to help our visitors and appreciate any suggestions.
Good luck!!!  George & Ina

| The 1901 and 1911 census of Ramelton may provide some info on siblings,place of birth etc.
There was a Winnie Dunleavy born in Sligo in 1866,just about the right time frame.

Maybe you're related to my wifes McGarveys,she was born in Ramelton and there are still McGarvey cousins and a sister who retired there.
There were McGarvey relatives who went to USA,some to Pennsylvania.

| Greetings from sunny Florida (at least until the next hurricane comes along...) Great website!!!
I have been searching for my G-G-G-Grandfather, William Gallagher who we believe immigrated to New Brunswick, Canada in the 1830's. Based on some old family writings, it appears that he may have been born in Rath Melton in 1819??? We hope to visit Ramelton next year to dig a bit further.

Hi Ray,
Greetings from sunny Ramelton, maybe not as warm as Florida but safer regarding the hurricanes.
We are looking forward to see you next year in the town.
As you probably have seen, you can book your accommodation through the website without any charge.
See you then

Hi Jacqui,
many thanks for your entry in the Ramelton guestbook.
As you can see below you are not the first member of the Noble family and it is good to know that the photos bring you back to the 70's. Ramelton is still growing but has kept its own character.

Great web site.. I grew up in Glenties and now reside in New Jersey and it is great to get all the news about Donegal from every town and I don't know how I ever survived without Highland Radio!! Keep up the good work! Slan
Mary | |
| Comment:
Hi Mary,
ramelton.net goes around the world. Very interesting where all the Donegal people live.
So Highland Radio does the one job, we do the other.
When we are back in the Glenties area we'll make some photos to show you (and others) how it's going on there.
That's it what makes us different to Highland Radio
Take care

We've been there twice to visit her sister Jean,who has retired there with her husband Eugene,who was also born there.
They live at Bridgend.
Ian and Norman McGarvey are her cousins who also still live there.
Thanks for the great photos,it's just as we remember it.I was really pleasantly surprised to see the Festival photos.
Too bad about the Salmon Inn,we had a great McGarvey reunion there in 1996.
We were trying to get back this year,but circumstances prevented us.
Next year for sure.
Thanks for a GREAT web site on the town,brings back happy memories.
The quality is excellent and so easily navigable.
I see Eddy Ferry still has his Antique cars at the Festival !
He took us with him to an Antique car Rally in 2001.That was an unexpected bonus to our holiday.

Hello Frank & Francis,
We met Eugene & Jean last Saturday and gave them a print of your guest book entry.
They were very astonished and delighted to read from you.
Since last week we have photos of the recent Festival on our site.
Please find out if you recognize some faces.
Unfortunately we haven't a photo of Eddy and his cars but he was still on the road again as every year.
Enjoy the pictures and maybe we will see us next year.

| Hallo Ihr Lieben da zuhause,
nun sind wir schon wieder 2 lange Wochen hier...viel,viel laenger als die 4 (viel zu kurzen) Wochen in Donegal ...
Es ist so schön Euch kennengelernt zu haben...zuerst über Eure wundervollen Seiten, dann per Mail und dann endlich Auge in Auge in der Bridge Bar. Und allmaehlich beim Erzaehlen, beim Guinness, beim Baileys Coffee (und bei der Club Orange) kam immer mehr das Gefuehl der Gemeinsamkeit, der gleichen Wellenlaenge, das man vorher schon in den Mails gemerkt hat ... Es ist einfach schön neue Freunde (und dieses Wort vergeben wir nicht leichtfertig) gefunden zu haben ...
Donegal muss man erlebt haben, Eure Ausflugstipps sind Gold wert...aber man kann gar nicht alles erleben , .. .auch nicht in 4 Wochen ...
Ramelton selber ist ein kleines niedliches Städtchen, mit vielen kleinen verborgenen, geheimnisvollen Ecken. Idealer Ausgangspunkt für viele wundervolle Erlebnistrips (siehe Trips, Ausflüge und Wandern unter www.Hermesse.de). Wer die Einsamkeit und farbenprächtige Natur sucht, ist im weiten Umland des Lough Swilly genau richtig. Aber auch wer gern Gesellschaft mag, genießt einfach ein paar Minuten (oder auch ausgedehnt, gesprächsreiche Stunden in der schwindenden Abendsonne ;-) auf der Bank vor der Bridge Bar. Hier trifft man Alles und Jeden und wenn man möchte kommt man dort mit den Locals schnell in Kontakt. Zu den fasznierenden Stränden und Klippen der Küste Donegals ist es auch nicht weit.
Oh, wir könnten noch ewig weiter schreiben ... aber für heute mal Schluss. Wir sehen uns dann Ende des Jahres und irgendwie fangen wir schon wieder an die Tage zu zählen bis wir Heimatluft atmen.
Seid lieb gedrückt von den 3 M’s aus Stuttgart
