Hi List, Just so all of you don't get discouraged I had to tell you that I and another member of the list have made a connection. Bill and Maria Turnier and I have found out that Bill's great-grandfather and mine were brothers from Ballyhaunis, County Mayo. Here I thought that my g-grandfather was an only child with no parents - ha-ha ;) Just don't give up, when you least expect it something happens. Thanks Bill and Maria for putting it all together.
