Len and others, Thank you for the quick reply and I have received 3 replies from Len. The 1698 marriage is referenced in the Dunn surname document by James Dunn Laird, found at cotyroneireland and it's from Donagheady parish. Through DNA testing of a cousin, we have linked our family to the John Dunn referenced. I appreciate your sorting out the various churches and the photo and the rest of the information. It's all very helpful! Thanks to attending a workshop by the Ulster Historical Foundation in Salt Lake City last week, I have the townlands where my ancestors lived. Glennagoorland Glebe, Tyboe Glebe and Cravencreagh. Bonnie
