FRIEL Family History

The latter exiled himself from Ireland being unable to rationalise between the warring tribes, and founded a monastery on the desolate Isle of Iona. The sept was, and still is, located in County Donegal, where they were known as 'coarbs', and held a hereditary position of trust, where in effect they maintained the church lands on behalf of the Primate of Ireland...

    I was told my father Hugh Friel was related to Brian Friel , the Irish playwright. Story is there were 3 brothers, one became a priest, the other went to Dublin to become a hackney driver (Brian Friel's ancestors) and my ancestor remained in Donegal. Not sure how true all this is but my cousin who lives in Donegal told me this story.
