SR - are you related to this family, or is your interest purely historical. You are probably aware that most of the family are buried at the parish church at Donegore, ajacent to the Loughanmore. The churchyard has 2 enclosed burial areas, both with Adair coats of arms. One is headed 'The burial place of the Adair family' and the second 'The ancient burial place of the Adair family'.But you probably know all this. Brian
