I referred to the unsuccessful search for my maternal great granduncle James CAREY in an email "Lost in Oz" on Mon, 26 Sep 2005 at http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/donegaleire/2005-09/1127689938 and at http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/nir-antrim/2005-09/1127689868 James CAREY has now been "found" and an account of the six year search for this elusive relative has been published in the August 2008 edition of the magazine "Practical Family History" (No 129) pp 24-28 as "Lost in Oz - My search for James Carey".
