Significant enhancement to the Donahoe tree

posted Jan 24, 2015, 3:52 PM by Brian Donahoe   [ updated Jan 26, 2015, 12:34 PM ]

was made detailing the first Donahoes that came to this country (Michael, and his brothers in the early 1800's), and various members of their families. This was primarily a horizontal expansion of the tree, as opposed to a vertical expansion. That is, not much was added going back further in time, but much was added about our forefathers relatives, etc. The data for this portion was is in large part using research done by a descendant of one of those lines, Jaime Lamberto. The tree is visible here.
