    The most common names are Friel & Mac Grory. Two of the houses are slated and one thatched . Mrs Friel can speak Irish, she tells stories in English because no one else can talk Irish in Killtgarvan.
    Her address is Killygarvan, Rathmullen Co. Donegal, Ireland. There is a hill at the back of our house. It is called the purple hill, and there is also a wood near us. It is about half a mile long. There used to be a church at Killygarvan and "Kill" is another name for church and there used to be a Saint living called Garvan and that is how it is called Killygarvan.
