Go raibh maith agat.


Also please forgive my terrible gaelic... I didnt bother with it much as a child and I am just no relearning it to teach my child (I dont want our family to loe it completely)

Oh one more question my family comes from Fermanagh which dialect was it my father and grandfather spoke. Also my husband parents are both from Donegal is their native dialect the same.

Fermanagh would be Ulster, as is Donegal.

Back in the 1930's there was a program in Ireland to record some of the last surviving native speakers in certain of the counties which lie outside of the current Gaeltachts, and among the people they recorded were people from Tyrone and Sligo. Since Fermanagh lies in between it may give you some idea of how your grandparents spoke. You can download the sound files and, for some of them, written texts, at this link: http://www.nuacht.com/colm/recordings.html
