Publisher's Synopsis
Our Donegal Roots is the story of the authors' ancestry stretching back to four families with long bloodlines in the Rosses district in West Donegal. Their parents left that Gaeltacht enclave in 1929 to come to America where they settled and began a new Irish-American branch of the family. In addition to detailing their Donegal roots, the book contains stories of life in their parents' home villages of Annagry and Kincasslagh and as well the authors' own upbringing as first generation Irish- Americans on Staten Island. The book contains numerous historical photos, family trees and other archival material which document the lives of these four native families of Donegal.
