A wonderful weekend enjoyed by family members in Glenties

The family of James (Jim) Mc Dyer from Croagh, Dunkineely and Sarah Mc Ginley met in Glenties at the weekend in what was hailed as a hugely successful family reunion. 

Extended family members also attended the Glenties-based reunion. Family members travelled from as far afield as New York, Portland Oregon, Puerto Rico, Wicklow, Dublin, Louth, Meath and Donegal to enjoy the celebrations.

The family enjoyed a meal in the Highlands Hotel and enjoyed discussing the history of their respective families. During the discussions other family members were discovered in and around the Glenties area. placeholder image
