Oh my Andy!! How wonderful for you!! I know your excitement Andy! Although I am still looking for relatives of my elusive 'Nana' Belle McGee from Belfast, I too was lucky with my mothers fathers family from Knock, Co. Mayo. I had started this addiction in 2001,posting many notes to all of the lists at Rootsweb, and out of the blue I heard from a fellow from Mayo that thought we were related! We exchanged emails and scanned pictures and sent them and found that we were third cousins. Our ggrandfathers were brothers. He was as excited as I, and I had the good fortune of meeting him and his family in Mayo in 2002, in Mayo. I have been back every year since, and not only that, have introduced them to my fathers family from Claremorris, just a stonesthrow down the road. Amazing......... I must say it has been one of the highlights of my life..like you too, am sure Andy!! Never give up..one never knows what note will be in your inbox when you next look!!
