For all of you who have been interested in this book, I thought I'd let you know that I heard back from Cana House (the genealogy resource center in Cavan) and they regret to inform us that this book is no longer in print and therefore not available to purchase. I will attempt to scan the book in it's entirety before returning it to its owner, so that I can continue to assist those who might like information from it. If you can wait a few months for your request, that would be best for me, as I have only a couple weeks to get it scanned and filed, before I pack up my 6 kids and take off for the family farm in Saskatchewan, Canada, for a 2 month visit. When I get back in September I'll be ready for anything! Or you can send your request and I will keep it on file for when I return (and maybe I'll get to it before I leave!).

Hello Listers: I've been debating with myself all day as to the wisdom of responding to the message below. The author might have something very important to say but I may never know. I have noticed in a few messages by yhis and various authors that they apparently don't know how, don't care, or deliberately choose not to write in English as I understand it. In this case, there is no puntuation or capitalization, nor evident concern for grammatical correctness and, as a consequence, I don't really understand much of what he/she is trying to say. I understand the trend towards hastily-constructed, terse notes and the use of shortforms or symbols in a lot of the e-mail I receive. I generally don't make an issue of the lack of correctness of spelling, grammar, or the presence of typos in e-mail messages, but I suggest there needs to be enough care taken that the message can be understood by most, if not all, of the intended readers. Am I the only one who finds this style of writing frustrating? It is not my intention to pick on the author of the message below. I merely use it as an example of what I consider to be poor communication.
