Hi:
Many thanks for your query to Ireland Reaching Out. If possible, do you have any dates for the above family members? Even a rough guess would be a big help. In addition, death certificates might reveal their parents names, and this can further identify a parish. Were their sons, John and James born in Ireland or in the U.S.?
If you go into the Clare County Library website at www.clarelibrary.ie/genealogy, you will find information through Griffith's Valuation, The Tithe Applotment Books whereby you can plug in the name of "John Donohoe" and a number of parishes will come up with that name. It is one way to start, but may be very tedious. As above, if you had a little bit more information, you could narrow your search down a lot quicker.
If you have further information, please let me know and I can try to take a look for you.
Kind regards,
Jane.
