Donegal Memorial Garden Research Help Needed (10-26-12)

In an effort to complete a project, the Donegal Historians are seeking information from family or friends of those interred in the Donegal Memorial Garden to be placed in a Memory Book. Letters have been sent to those families for whom we were able to secure address information. Below is a list of names for which our research could not produce a contact person. If you can help by providing us with a family member’s name or the name of anyone who might have knowledge of these people, please contact Portia Brian at 717-964-2344 or at portiab1@verizon.net.
