O'Donnells in Carna Parish, Co. Galway, Ireland
The following records are extracted from microfilms of baptisms and marriages in Carna Parish, Archdiocese of Tuam, Co. Galway, Ireland. Carna is located in western Galway along the coast of Galway Bay between Roundstone and Cil Cairn. The parish includes the townlands of Rusheenamanagh, Moyrus, Ardmore, and others.
This microfilm was read in the National Library in Dublin, Ireland and was in poor condition. For example, the baptisms from 1853-1873 and marriages from 1860-1870 were almost entirely unreadable. I tried to pull out all the O'Donnells I could, but I am sure that I missed many more.
You can also follow links to O'Donnells known to be in my tree. I'd love to hear from anyone researching O'Donnells in Carna parish! Please e-mail .
