Trying to find Robert Nelson born 1905 Donegal ireland (carndonagh) and also his father James Nelson Donegal ireland (1870)

Am also trying to find out if James has a brother called william who lived in Balleymena Northern Ireland.(market street)

I am working from a photograph which was taken in the 1960's of some distant cousins who lived in Pennsilvania.
I just cant find the missing link.
I know its somewhere. Have used passenger list to get census .
And have worked backwards using Anerican address I had.

I know there is a definate link as when I was a little girl I can remember them visiting us.

I really hope someone can help. I dont really know where to look
many thanks
