Hello:
I am from Panama, Panama. In search of my name origin I came accross with your site and believe there is some connection in finding some answers to my ancestry quest. My surname is probably a variant of your beautiful hometown name. If anyone feels that could share some insight about the origins, it will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.

Samuel Russell and Mary Watt lived in Ramelton,in the 1600s.Their grandson John Buchanan left their son's home for Pennsylvania,married,and his son became our President John Buchanan.This is my grandmother's family background.Samuel Russell had a 230 acre farm,the Big Airds and raised sheep.150 years later the Russells were raising sheep in Iowa.My son Chris just came back from R. and he found the foundation of their home. Thanks museum/geneology gentlewoman for your kind help. Your website is marvelous. My father's ancestor John Barnett married Jeanett Power in Derry cathedral in 1701 and also came to PA with his family in 1730. The two families finally married in Iowa in 1890.We are still all Presbytrians.A thrill to have found such a delightful,historic town in our background.Lorrie

Hi George and Ina
Thanks for the photos of a snow covered Ramelton,certainly looks different with a covering of snow,I hope it didn't cause too many problems for the Rameltonians !
We've had our share of snow here too,but it's been very mild and the snow is melting,just a January thaw,we still have a lot of winter left yet.

Hi Frank & Frances,

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOURS!

It was a lot of fun, at least for the children.
Everything else was chaos on the roads.

What a beautiful site - congratulations.

My great-grandparents were married at the Chapel of Burt in 1884 and their 2 eldest children were born in Ramelton, they then came over here to Scotland and had 4 more. Their names were Joseph Curran and Bridget McCafferty, both born about 1865, probably in Ramelton. Joseph's parents were Patrick Curran and Catherine Steenson (or Stevenson) Bridget's parents were Charles McCafferty and Sarah Kerr (or Carr). Joseph had at least one sister - Catherine, she maried John McDade in or around Ramelton about 1884, they came to Scotland about 1890 and went to Ontario about 1912.
As far as I know, all of Bridget McCafferty's siblings came over to Scotland. Her eldest sister Sarah married Hugh docherty at St Johnston Donegal in 1883, then came over to Dumbarton.
I would be delighted to correspond with anyone researching these families.

Keep up the good work with the web site.
All the best,
Jim.

Hello again!
I am living vicariously through your website. I was unable to go to the festival last year or this (a new grand daughter) but I am reading your local news to keep up to date - in case I will be tested later - so please keep up the good work. I am anxiously awaiting the photos of this year’s Lennon Festival. We always stay at Anne and Bert’s and we miss the good craic of the singing pub contest. We have a favorite but it would be unfair to say.

I know that Terry is Norman name (common in Cork) but my mom is an O’Connor, with Brennan and other original Irish ancestors thrown in to the mix. I found them buried in Elphin, County Roscommon and more in Carlow. Having said that, I am drawn to your area of Donegal. Perhaps it is the Scottish Kennedy’s and McCullough that also permeate my ancestral past.

Continually updating my website, I understand the effort involved but I wanted you to know that there are many like myself that are waiting for the photos from this year’s festival. This should not be taken as anything but an appreciation of your efforts to bring the world a slice of “life in Ramelton”. Many of us depend upon your efforts.

I understand it rained quite a bit this year and I consider that an added benefit when I visit. It builds character. This year, here in Marin County (near Napa) California it has been 70-78 almost every day at mid day - boring. Living near the Pacific Ocean we have early morning fog and if I get up and out around 6 a.m., I can almost smell Ireland on the breeze. Thank God for these small favors – an early morning whiff of Ireland.

Missing you and yours and especially Ramelton, hoping all is well.

Congratulations to your new grand daughter and many many thanks for your lovely words.
With a little help of the 'Tirconnail Tribune' (added to our photos) we can give you and anybody else now some impressions of this years festival.
The 'Tribune' also provides us with the weekly news which we put online Thursdays (mostly).
Nice to get some response for the effort.
So we'll try again to keep you all up to date.

Regards from sunny and dry (!!!) Ramelton

My Aunt Annie (Divers) Murray and Uncle John Murray lived in Ramelton - last time I was there was 44 years ago. My cousins James, David, John, Martha and Susan had moved up to the new houses near the beautiful old church. I will be visiting again in October. I am sure I will be amazed and impressed with all the changes. My grandparents were James and Nancy Ward Divers.

Hi Elizabeth,
we are pretty sure that there were some changes in the last 44 years but find out by yourself.

Looking forward to visiting Ramelton next year. Once was the home of my Grandfather Patrick Diver and his parents Roseanne Martin and John Diver.
Will be using Doughbeg as my homebase.

I was sooo excited to discover this website; I'm the daughter of Andrew & Sheila McGarvey.Imagine my surprise to see a photo of my Uncles Ian & Ronald at the Festival. I've wonderful memories of Ramelton; the jaunting cart with Grandad;my Gran saying Och, leave the wee bairns alone. Eating raspberry ripple wafers; we were terribly spoiled. The memories of the beautiful ocean and countryside, wild strawberries, collecting honey; chasing a hen and chicks at the Ralston farm; being trapped in the cow barn by Uncles who squirted me with milk ..YUK .. Yes I had a temper and when they let go of me!!! Now I live in the USA and work in Aerospace..I plan to return to Ramelton and recharge my old memories. It appears I have some relatives on the Guestbook .. love to hear from you.
Comment:
Thanks Margaret,
we guess there are also some relatives in the town and not only in the guestbook.
What a nice change between Ramelton and Aerospace. We know that feeling only reversely but love to be here now.
See you some time in the town.

Recently vacationed in Ramelton. My father-in-law was born there, so it was a great thrill for my wife and I to be there. He lived on Back Street. I would guess some of the homes there were from his time, which would be the early 1900.

The charming Lennon and great people could come too and have some traditional haggis. Instead of exchanging cultures we could just import yours? Eire go bra!

Hi
Seeing the DVD for sale ( I may buy it ) reminds me that last year an aquaintance sent me a DVD made from Paddy Williams home movies called "Memories of Ramelton".
It includes scenes of the Lennon Festivals around 1972-1977.
It also includes the bus runs from Clydebank to Ramelton around the same time.
I believe that Eugene Norry (my wifes brother in law) was involved in organizing it.
The quality is not great,but my wife Frances,nee McGarvey,enjoyed seeing her Dad "Big Bob McGarvey" and sisters in it.

Hi again,

we’ll ask Eugene how he was involved in this historic movie.

Regarding our DVD, we put a lot of our photos from the website on it,
supported it with some good music and hope everybody will enjoy watching it on the Tele.

The summer is warm in sweet Ramelton,
Kids with cones of icecream a meltin',
Pints of beer pulled from the fridge,
The Lennon flows 'neath the bridge.

The birds they fly in Ramelton's sky,
Donegal's jewel - and that's no lie,
Is this town's heart and soul you see,
Ramelton you really are lovely.
