I'm looking for information about my great-grandfather John Arthur Glacken. He was born 2 Feb 1892 (some records say 1893) in Drung, Moville area, Co. Donegal, and immigrated to the U.S. sometime around 1913. Thanks

According to civil and church records, he was actually born in 1885. I have found he was the son of Daniel and Rose Coyle Glacken, born in Drung, Moville (Upper). He was the youngest of at least seven, with most of the older children born when the family lived in Derry City. Their names include Daniel, Madge, Hugh, Cornelius, James, Mary Ann and Peter. The 1911 census shows only Madge and Cornelius living at home with their parents in Drung. If anyone has any information on this family, it will be most appreciated.
