There is a biggish connection of O'Preys in Belfast, from the Dock area, in my golf club there is Raymond and Veronica O'Prey, a lovely couple but again they are Dock.....when I see Raymond I say he maybe my nearly cousin but dont think so...There are many many Murrays around Darragh, I recall Bridget, Margaret, Rose.........For now....Maureen --------------------------------- Yahoo! for Good Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.
