Hi again. Yes I know there are literally hundreds of Sharkey's in Annagry, I have been sifting through most of them for years.
I will start with the earliest Sharkey in my family and come down in a direct line to my Great Great Grandfather. There are so many that branch off from these it will take forever to send.

Patrick O'Donnell
John O'Donnell
Maire O'Donnell
Anna O'Donnell
Isabella O'Donnell
Una Sharkey and Frank O'Donnell are both buried in the Star of the Sea Cemetery, Annagry Church.
Owen Frank O'Donnell is my Great Great Grandfather on my Mother's side of my famiy.
I have not been able to get much paperwork on any of the above as most of the info came from family members in Ireland and also from Church Records. I haven't researched any of the other Sharkey's in depth as I am trying to get my line straight back at present. Have some paperwork in my files somewhere for a few of the Sharkey's and who they married, but will have to dig them out.
I will be interested to see if any of this ties in with your Sharkey family.
Meantime Cheers for now Lee.
