Hello there -- PLEASE SIGN my GUESTBOOK before you leave!
My "sources" for this family tree are from shared family references; LDS records from FRANCE on the ALLEMAND family - courtesy of a newly-found "cousin," John; a selected compilation from The BENNETT History by George Roy BENNETT, Milford, DE, dated August 18, 1964 and a "just met last summer" 3rd cousin who lives on the original farm in DE; a file from another recently-found BROWN "cousin," Cathy; and information gleaned from Ancestry.com and all the other many sources now on the internet. It is correct as far as I can ascertain. I am adding more relatives as I learn of them (and/or as I have the time to enter them.) YOUR HELP IN ADDING TO OUR FAMILY TREE WOULD BE WELCOMED -- the more original documentation you can send me the better!!!
This IS a work-in-progress, and I invite EACH of YOU to participate! I THANK YOU for calling to my attention ANY errors, omissions, or additions that I should update.
Regarding the DONEGAN ancestry, Halbert of Bath, Ohio 44120, who specializes in heraldic information tells us:
"The Irish O' denotes grandfather. Different spellings of the same original surname are a common occurrence. Dictionaries of surnames
indicate probable spelling variations. The most prominent variations of DONEGAN are Dongan, Dongans, Donnegan and Dunnegan (and our ancestors came with it spelled Dunnigan). ... Census records available disclose the fact there are 725 heads of households in the U.S. with the old and distinguished Donegan name. The Census Bureau estimates there are approximately 3.2 persons per household in America, which yields an approximate total of 2320 people in the U.S. carrying the Donegan name."
