I went back and looked at my posting and believe the little people were walking across my keyboard as I typed for in many places letters and symbols appeared reducing my sentences to nonsensical gibberish.   I just wanted to say I am very happy for those of you who can now search all records that were up until recently forbidden by the archbishop.  I wish you all happy hunting with positive results.  It is ironic for me however that this happens at a time in my life when I cannot take advantage of this happening.  I have spent good money for paid research in the past with poor results.  Now I can not afford a trip to Ireland but perhaps in the future will be able to resume my search with the help of a good researcher.  If anyone can direct me in that direction it would be appreciated.  I am researching Cleary, Hogan, Smith, Duly in that part of Tipperary which borders on Offaly in the town of Birr and beyond in Tipperary.   Having followed this list for years, I still read all the listings even though I am not actively researching at this time due to the fact that I am now primary care giver for my 93 year old mother and have had health problems of my own.  So again to all of you,  happy hunting and wishing you all great success.    Diane
