Donegal (county)
My grandfather, John Cunningham Meehan, was born in Donegal on 31 December 1861. His parents were Thomas Meehan and Sarah Cunningham. According to the GVS, there were four Thomas Meehan's in Donegal in Inver Parish at that time, and I feel the most likely one is from Gargrim or Lower Cranny. John and brother Dan came to the US in 1882 according to John's naturalization record. Brother Thomas, born 1868 died age 7 c.1875-6 and sister Margaret (Madge) born c. 1863-4 stayed in Donegal. If this matches any known family, please let me know. I don't think I can make very many more trips over to Donegal, and I'd really like to know where my roots are. Thanks so much. Kae Ruth
You know there were Meehans in Inver Parish - were there also Cunninghams there? My bet would be - if you found a townland with both Meehans and Cunninghams in it, that might be the one.
Have you checked the Title Applotement List? It was done earlier but you could look there for the townland where Meehans and Cunninghams both lived.
