Lisa, you don't know how your email traveled and really made the day for my cousin...i forwarded your email re your bere island trip with all the names in the cemetary to my cousin (Patrick) but he goes by the name Joseph O'Sullivan who is a retired policeman and currently resides in Dublin....he was born on the island and left when he was 12 or 13.....in fact i was lucky enough to travel the island with him through every nook and cranney and its a trip i'll never forget.........my dad was born in cloughland and my cousin michael still lives on the old homestead.......one time we stayed at murphy's  and the other in a cottage where another cousin Jim Harrington let us stay........in any case, my cousin Joe wrote back with a written litany of the folks he remembered growing up there and i think it really brought back memories and he really appreciated it....so there you go, like a stone thrown in the middle of a pond, you never know how far the ripples go!!!...thanks for your ripples!!! you made a lot of people's day who have roots in Bere Island!!!
