Riobard, I know what you mean - I feel the same sometimes myself! I have put out a lot of info. hoping I would be able to find someone to help connect me with my own family, but perhaps I am in the wrong place too. I only wish there was a forum like this for other Irish locales! I have enjoyed all of your posts but admittedly am quite remiss in reading all lately, as I am busy raising to energetic boys. I hope you stay on. Happy Valentine's Day to you and your wife. Janet (Cummings/Sullivan) On Thu, Feb 14, 2013 at 6:52 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
