Hello Ken, all, I'd like to commend Ken -- and all who have helped Tami -- for this effort. It's great to see the considerable talents of the Beara list coming together to help a fellow researcher. Thank you all so much.

Bill I couldn't have said that better. I am sincerely amazed and moved and I can't express in words how much I appreciate the assistance. I have had such a longing to find my Irish roots and I am again struck by the emotions that come over me when my quest takes another leap forward. This is definitely one of those times thanks to this Board. It pains me to have to leave and o to work. I so want to dive in deeper. If I can assist any of you with Washington State Information please let me know.
