Teresa this is a great story and fascinating for me personally because I have 3/16th ancestry from Beara, that is, three great-great-grandparents.  And  guess the surname of two of the three?  Sullivan of course!

In 2002 I was waiting in line at the Bank in Castletown to change dollars  for Euros.  On the spur of the moment---I turned around to the man behind  me and said, "Hello Mr. Sullivan."  He looked surprised and said "Do I know  you"  "No I said, I am Mrs. Sullivan from Nebraska and just testing out the  idea of definitely hitting a Sullivan with a stone if I threw it out the  window." Yes, He was Mr. Sullivan from England back home to visit his son.
