You say you are only 15 and from Ireland. My father's people also came from Ireland in the early 1800's and that is a place I have always dreamed of visiting. Also Switzerland as I think that sounds like an interesting place too. I have grandchildren your age and we have fun when we get together. Maybe we are distant relatives and just don't know it. Wouldn't that be a coincidence? Good talking to you. Lou
