There are a couple of people from Ireland mentioned in this history of Bandera Co., TX at <http://texashistory.unt.edu/data/TBDP/UNT/meta-pth-27720.tkl>. I'm not related to these people, but thought maybe it would help someone. Type Ireland or the surname in the Search Inside box on the page. Bonnie in OKC Researching in Ireland--McDonald, O'Brien
