So very true, what more can we say? Riobard thank you doesn't express my deep gratitude for assisting me in my quest to find where in Cork my Harrington and Lowney grandparents came from. What a surprise to have your work reveal generations of my family. I am still trying to comprehend the possibly of someday visiting their home place and finding cousins. You have opened up so many possibilities for so many of us for generations to come. I hope your heart is filled with joy as you devote time to other endeavors. Thank you again! Bill and others thank you for your dedication to this board. I am so thankful that I was able to find it and your kind assistance in helping me navigate subscribing.
