Beecham of Palmyra, Nebraska on Mar. 14, 1911. Since we know that Grandfather Beecham emigrated from Tipperary we think that Angell did as well. We also have some letters from other Angell family members if anyone is interested farther. Best wishes, Margaret Beecham Skean

... take a little trip over to my little corner of the cyberverse... *g* Some of you have been here before, and some of you haven't. Some of you didn't even know it existed, and some of you do. Some of you I haven't talked to in a *very* long time... And I'm very sorry about that... Well, this is *part* of what has been taking up my time for the last several months. Anyway, enough of all that! Please, if you will, shoot your browsers this direction... http://www.fortunecity.com/bally/carlow/4/ I hope you enjoy your visit, and please let me know what you think?
