    3. Hello all, I have been lurking for quite a while, but my geneology research has been taking a back burner to my job lately and not much progress has been make, however I can answer this question: Seabhacc@aol.com wrote: > > I also read a very interesting story about Fionn and the Fianna by > Morgan > Llewellyn.

She has also written several other books than mentioned here, though I cannot remember the names or look them up as I am at work. I as well very highly recommend reading Llewellyn's books if you are interested in Irish & celtic history. The books are fictional history but due to the tremendous research she has put into them, the history is true and the fiction lets you get to know the characters personally.
