My father was Eddie McGonigle and he was born in Drung near Moville in Co Donegal.He left home when he was 13 years old(as was the norm in the 1930s) he first went to Derry and then to Glasgow.He worked his way down through England.It was always his intention to emigrate to the states but never made it because he married an english girl (her grandmother was from Waterford).He died in 1985 and we took him home to be burried.Donegal and Glasgow are the only places where I dont have to spell my name.There has always been talk that the McGonigles left Scotland and went to Ireland, however I have never met a McGonigle who isnt a catholic and say that they are Irish.
