Hi Debbie, now you've alerted my nosiness. There were two Lowney families in Greenane.I rememberJim Bill, Mick and Con but I dont remember any Dennis so you must belong to the other.I only knew Mrs O'Brien from that family. She had a grandson Brian Oliver,I knew him as a kid but lost track over the years. I communicate with Terence -(john's brother who lives in glengarriff) occasionally. He is a nice guy full of devilment but not as solid as John. Take care, Jim. On 01/24/13, Perelli, Deborah<[email protected]> wrote: Hi Jim! Yes, Henry and I would be 2nd cousins. My grandmother, Frances Moriarty and his mother, Julia Moriarty were sisters, I think that is how it goes. John O'Sullivan would have then been my 2nd cousin, I believe. I went to Bere Island back in 1993 and spent a week there visiting with John and Bernie. My father, Dennis Lowney went there at least 6 times. He loved it there and of course the highlight was always hanging out with John. He was such a wonderful guy and what a sense of humor he had as you know. I regret that I never went back to see him before his passing. My father thought the world of John too. Thank you. Take care, Debbie Lowney Perelli Deborah L.

The post office that your cousin and my good friend John took over from his Mom Julia was the main post office the other I believe was mostly to accomodate the military. It was used for telegrams and telephone,also in Ireland they use the postoffice as a savings bank A couple of years ago they were going to shut down the post office on the Island, which would be a disaster for the old people,anyway they organised a worldwide petition through the internet to keep it open and it worked. I don't know if you realize it but you and Henry from Oklahoma are related Keep warm, Jim On 01/23/13, Perelli, Deborah<[7][email protected]> wrote: I just know of one post office on the Island located next to the church which use to be run by my cousin, John O'Sullivan.

One in the village run by 'Aunt Sis' - Mary Donegan later Sugg and the one you are both referring to next to the Church in Ballynakilla. Of course, there is only the one now which is incorporated into Murphy's Store in the village (Rerrin). Come on, someone else add something or correct the pair of us. Talking of chill factor, we haven't been above freezing for nearly two weeks now here in Oxfordshire, England, so any warmth you can spare would be welcome - getting fed up with it now no matter how 'pretty' it is !!
