In the Nov-Dec 2006 issue of Dublin's "Ireland of the Welcomes" magazine, a Canadian reader shared her thoughts on Ireland: Heather SCULLY, Peterborough, Ontario, Canada wrote: "I want to first thank you for bringing such a wonderful magazine into my home every two months. The articles and pictures have been a godsend in keeping my dreams and ambitions going. I have dreamed of going to Ireland as far back as I can remember. After many setbacks, illness and disappointments, I finally went for my 25th birthday. Our trip was everything I imagined, but I still felt there was something missing. I have always wanted to take time and look up our family's history, but there was never enough time. Not to mention that my father knows very little about the illusive SCULLY family. I reckoned that even by going to Ireland the chances of tracking down families were slim, but I knew we would be in Tipperary briefly and felt it was up to me to try. I was very surprised to discover that the SCULLY family was prominent all throughout the country before moving to Dublin and London. But the best feeling as when I stood in front of the SCULLY cross beside The Rock of Cashel. I hadn't even known it was there and it brought tears to my eyes. I felt so at peace and at home with my ancestors there. It was as if all the scrambling, stress and confusion had been worth it. One of the staff even provided me with a wealth of information and contact details for sourcing information on the SCULLY family. It gave me so much hope, so I came home once again determined that my dream to move there would be possible. Difficult as it has been, just as I was about to give up on my research, I received your July-August 2006 issue. There on the front cover was the Rock of Cashel. It brought me back to the feeling I had when I was kneeling there a few months ago. I took this as a sign and it encouraged me to carry on with my research on my family roots. Thank you for giving me back the hope I had lost."
