What Parish would I look to find BOLES in Donegal?

Where would I look for information on Hugh BOLES and Susan DOBSON whose family was born in Donegal between 1800 and 1815?

Good morning; Cead Mile Failte. As a basic starting point I would look carefully over the links listed above. Parish Records could be difficult as often the registers don't start until after 1820 or so. On the "County Pages" also shown, there are various links that will point you in a few different directions - all will be worth viewing and checking. There is also a Family History Library in Derry/Londonderry, Foyle Family History Centre - well worth making contact with them as they are very experienced in the local area.

You will also find them on Facebook.

Your search may take a while - do not get discouraged, but keep looking. Then one day you may well find your pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
