Welcome ...
to the website dedicated to the descendants of that branch of the Denniston family who arrived in the parish of Mevagh (Carrigart, Downings and Glen area) in County Donegal, Ireland around 1740. Since then the family has spread throughout Ireland, England, Scotland, The United States and beyond.
<p>Some statistics on the Church of Ireland Diocese of Raphoe in 1801.
