Being still within a "thanksgiving"mode, thank you to Riobard and to Bill for all that they have given to the community of researchers. I am thankful for them and the gift of their time & knowledge. Wishing them and all the Beara brethren a blessed Christmas season.

To: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" As someone who has learned a lot about the ancestry of my children through Riobard's amazing work, I, too, want to say "Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your tireless dedication and loving work." As a genealogist, I know the hard work and dedication it takes to work on your own family. Doing this work for others, often not getting paid for it, demonstrates a powerful love of Ireland, Beara, and the history of an oft tortured people. My congratulations to you, for finally taking the time to be yourself and giving more of your time to your lovely wife, Joan, and the rest of your family. Thank you for everything you have done.

In 2008, my mother was in the early stages of dementia. Her brother gave her a substantial gift and suggested she use it on a big trip. She asked me to take her to Ireland to see her relatives although she had no idea who they were. During my search I came across this list. A very kind person responded to my question, gave me the exact pages in Riobard's book re: our Allihies relatives, and topped it off with the phone number of the Allihies priest with a suggestion to call him. Our cousin still lived next door to the parsonage and the priest gave me her phone number. Mom couldn't remember much about the trip afterwards, but knew that she (from Spokane) got to see her Irish relatives with her daughter and granddaughter from Virginia and told everyone she met whether they knew her or not... : ) We're heading to Spokane for Christmas to probably say our final goodbyes to Mom, but until 6 months ago, she would look at her photo album of the trip and smile... That trip would have never happened with you Riobard...thank you from the bottom of my heart! Linda Jennings On Sat, 24 Nov 2012 01:00:27 -0700 [email protected] writes: > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
