The word "Laggan" is derived from the Celtic root "lag" or "lug" meaning a flat place. In prehistoric times it was a large lake dotted with islands, the highest of which were the hill of Aileach, and the hill of Oaks on which Derry City is situated. Aileach borders the area to the north, to the west is Lough Swilly, to the East Lough Foyle, and the southern boundary stretches from Convoy to Lifford. I am going to trace the history of St.

LIMITED. PREFATORY NOTE. iiST'T'jf.O An attempt has been made in the following pages to put on record what can be discovered concerning the descendants of two Irish families which became allied in 1737 by the marriage of the Rev. Andrew Nixon with Mariaime French. The various families detailed on pp. 83-127, are descended from that marriage. The PubHc Record Office contains evidence of the existence of many other persons of the names of French and Nixon, who, from the localities in which they lived, were very probably of the same stock, but as no proof of their relationship has been forthcoming, as a rule they have not been mentioned in the book. It has been found necessary to condense the work as much as possible, and to leave out some biographical details which might have been inserted. I have tried in most instances to give chiefly those which come from unfamiliar sources. The evidence for the earlier generations in the 17th and 18th centuries is in almost every case clear and complete.

Thanks to the hard-work of our Co-ordinator, the Reverend Ken Rue, that has now come to fruition. I hope you find this to be a helpful guide to all you need to know about the six courses being delivered over the next academic year. Those who began training last year raised a number of pertinent questions over the course of their studies and Ken has attempted to address these so that they don’t become issues again.

    News March 30 ! CNI ! New outreach centre, ‘The Mustard Seed’, has been officially opened by the Bishop of Derry and Raphoe, Rt Rev Ken Good New outreach centre opens in Donegal The Donegal Group of Parishes’ new outreach centre, ‘The Mustard Seed’, has been officially [email protected] Page !1 News March 30 opened by the Bishop of Derry and Raphoe, Rt Rev Ken Good. There was glorious sunshine for Saturday morning’s ribbon-cutting ceremony at the premises on New Row, just yards away from Donegal Parish Church and Donegal Castle. Parishioners were doubly blessed as Bishop Good confirmed the awarding of a €14,100 grant for the project from the Church of Ireland’s Priority Fund. The Archdeacon of Raphoe, Ven David Huss, told those present that The Mustard Seed was the brainchild of a number of parishioners who wanted to “take the church out of the church building and into the community”. Archdeacon Huss, who is the Rector of Donegal, Killymard, Lough Eske and Laghey, said they decided during last year’s Year of Opportunity in the Diocese to open a new outreach centre and create “the kind of place where anyone could come and find love and find care and find friendship”. The premises include a tea-room, a book stall and a prayer space for the whole community, and the centre will open from 10am-2pm each Thursday and Friday. “When you come to The Mustard Seed tea-room it is a bit different,” [email protected] Page !2 News March 30 Archdeacon Huss said.

HE IS NOT HERE, BUT RAISED UP!” LUKE 24:6 THE MESSAGE Tribute to Bishop James Mehaffey The Rt Revd Andrew Forster - who was consecrated Bishop of Derry and Raphoe in December 2019 - said that at a time when Churches were often being depicted as part of the problem in Northern Ireland, Bishop James Mehaffey and Bishop Edward Daly had become part of the solution. “I am deeply saddened by the news of the death of my eminent and much- loved predecessor,” Bishop Forster said. “I never had the privilege of serving under Bishop James, but I was well aware of his reputation. How could I not be? He was a towering figure within the Diocese of Derry and Raphoe in particular and the Church of Ireland generally, and recognition of his achievements transcended diocesan and denominational boundaries. “A great many of us were struck by - and, indeed, influenced by - his close friendship with Bishop Edward Daly. A great many more of us benefitted as a result of that friendship, even if we didn’t know it at the time. “During the worst of times in our history, when Churches were often being depicted as part of the problem in Northern Ireland, Bishop James and Bishop Edward became part of the solution.
