O'DONNELL
DONEGAL
GILLESPIE
My grandparents, Jimmy O'Donnell and Anne Gillespie, married and coincidentally when I got married it was
Jim O'Donnell and Moira Anne Gillespie once again, a wee quirk of fate.
I see my Family Tree project as an opportunity to put on record the generation before me and their families
because whether we like it or not, as the years go by we lose contact with each other. I have decided not to include
grandchildren of people of my generation, except for my own, that's called editors priority, that might be the
next project.
I also wanted to create a Family Tree with a difference, so decided that I would try and put faces to names where
possible rather than just writing down lots of names. I have spoken to, wrote to and met up wih a lot people to
gather information and hopefully the facts are as accurate as possible but there will obviously be mistakes, I
would welcome anyone contacting me and correcting the mistakes and anyone who can provide further
information as I have lots of people who I couldn't find out much about, my email address is
jim.odonnell@hotmail.co.uk if anyone wants to contact me.
So that's it, I hope that you enjoy browsing through The O'Donnell / Gillespie Family Tree.
