Dear Riobard, I have 5 copies of that book, but don't see many stories....come on give us one, you know you want to! Or, since Sheila brought it up, know where I might find stories about and the roster of the S.S. Ierne, Irish Light boat? All my best, Lisa -----Original Message----- From: beara-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:beara-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Riobard O'Dwyer Sent: Sunday, October 12, 2008 4:55 AM To: beara@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [BEARA] Spelling. Dear Lisa, You will get buckets of stories about Ardagh (one of the townlands of Bere Island) in my book "Who were my Ancestors ? Bere Island Parish" from me here. I thought the books were nearly all gone, but recently I came across a container of them that I had forgotten existed. When they are all gone, everybody will be looking for them, but then it will be too late. Regards, Riobard. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lisa O" <ohlisao@att.net> To: <beara@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, October 12, 2008 5:22 AM Subject: Re: [BEARA] Spelling. > LOL, Riobard!
