Thank you so much, Michael for sharing these reports with the Irish-American list. Even with our recession, our lives are so much easier to live than how our ancestors and cousins lived as described in these accounts. Thanks for taking the time out of your life to type and send the posts to our list. >From the scrapbook of Landlord Agent , Mr Charles Thorpe, in the PPP. > August 1892. > > -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com
