Sometimes I am not at home when people call to my door looking for help in tracing their ancestors. For instance, yesterday somebody in Castletownbere sent people out 5 miles to Eyeries to me to help them ----- but it was a wasted journey, as I happened to be about 100 miles away in Cork City at the time. It is better to phone (74015) from any part of Beara, Co. Cork South-West, first. Even if I'm not at home, a message can be left (plus email, if possible). If calling from any part of Ireland outside of the Bantry/Beara areas, the phone is (027)74015. If wanting to get in touch with me from the U.S.A., etc., it would be easier first to email me. If writing, don't forget to enclose your email. I suppose I'm getting a bit lazy with old age !! ----- Riobard. -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users.
