This is also a posting I found on another list. It was sent in by a man named Ray Marshall so I will gove him the credit here. I did hesitate for a while before sending this on to Fianna because it is such a long posting. I really did not realize how long it was until I sent it to the printer. Luckily I sent it to the Panasonic since it is much cheaper to run than the inkjet! I have many looseleaf notebooks where I keep this sort of useful information so I printed it off and put it in my Irish Research notebook. As Ray begins his letter, "snailmail is not dead". I have alas found this to be true. Since I have failed to locate all my Irishmen on the web, I have been forced to resort to primtive genealogical practices like writing letters with my word processor, stamping and sealing them (including a LASE of course) and walking them out to the Possum Hill Farm mailbox!!
