Robin, Earlier this year, Larry Brennan on this list sent me this suggestion when I asked how I might make contact with possible Hayes relatives in Liscannor. " The Local Priest Knows Everything: Why not ask for guidance at: http://www.galwaydiocese.ie/parishes/liscannor-moymore " I emailed the priest and received a very friendly response, in which he said he'd referred my request to a woman in the parish who knew a lot about the local records. I'm now reminded that I've never heard back from him or her, so I need to follow up. But the priest may be able to answer your questions. PJ > Any suggestions, recommendations would be appreciated.
