The National Archives of Ireland now has the 1911 census for all 32 counties available on their site.
It's easy to search and view the original census forms. And it's free!

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

New blog!

I'm starting a blog of the Donegan Clan to organize new information. I'll be working on it for the next few days. Please send suggestions.
