Not at all Teresa, we love to get the full picture just in case you mention 'one of ours' and therefore we can fill in a little bit more of our 'jig-saw'. I happen to have a Eugene Sullivan (my Great Grandfather), but unfortunately he never made it across the 'pond', so yours is not mine. But I love the name, so am happy to hear it used no matter what. Good luck with the search !!
