Chief I will further condescend to add, that before you criticise me you should at least first understand what I have kindly replied to Patrice, who is after all a serious genealogist. I told him " a) that the writing was very poor ( we all have those problems don't we?) and that b) no one seems to recognise the named places in Ireland which are in the document. Literally, I wrote: " The problem seems to be with the document. The writing is poor and no one seems to recognise the name of the places in Ireland." On behalf of the group, I am sorry but we just seem to be guessing" Is this not fact? I do apologise to the group for assuming that I can speak for you and also for not attaching a translation with the original post; this does probably amount to bad manners.
