I, too, would like to thank Pete. Pete has been so accurate in describing the area of Bishopswood, Co. Tipperary that I have a very good visual of it in my mind. Pete, you are the greatest. Thank you for everything. Patty Pete, We all miss your comments, your humor and you map skills too much to express. Please! Un-AOL and get back here where you belong.

Derrybeg is on the Tipperary N.R. map, Gerrybeg was not. I found thirty-four "Minogue" households in the areas of Castletownarra and Templeachally, Tipperary based on Pete's detective work. > > Mike Minogue >
