Hello,
I have an old family bible stating that my GGGandfather James Donohoe born in 1826 Parish of Drung. I believe his mother was Honora Donohoe and father John Donohoe?
Do you have any info on them?

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
RC baptismal records for the parish of Drung do not begin until 1847 so we won't be able to locate a record for James.
I did check the 1855 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Drung civil parish and there were a number of Donohoe records including a Honoria in Cornakill townland and a Patrick in Cornabaste townland. http://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/cavan/drung.htm We don't know if either record relates to the parents of James.
Any other info on the family?
Did James leave Ireland? If he did, you may want to add his story to our XO Chronicles site https://www.irelandxo.com/ireland-xo/history-and-genealogy/ancestor-dat…
Have you considered autosomal DNA testing?
