Pat, Go raibh maith agat for all your hard work and effort in helping others find their families. I know that while I always read your emails, I'm not one for responding or saying thanks enough.

I know I have tried the Seanruad.com site and came up with the parish as Kilmore. I am guessing that is wrong now that I see your instructions. I have also used the Ireland Foundation site and after three or four tries and three or four wrong hits, I haven't given it a try since. I will make sure my information is more correct before I try again. Thanks Pat for your expertise.
