Thanks for this, Paddy. I've signed myself up but haven't posted anything yet. When I do, I'm sure I'll pepper my post with plenty of questions for those Clare men and women back home who know things only the locals could know. But I also hope to share in the same way. Those in Clare who would research areas in the US, and wherever else the Diaspora landed, could benefit from our knowledge, too. It's a win-win situation, folks. Once again, that wonderful institution, Clare County Library, has offered Clare researchers the world over another juicy course in its constantly-updated buffet. (Hmmm. I sound hungry, don't I?) Partake and enjoy!!!! Happy Easter!

It can be reached directly at . http://www.ourlibrary.ca/phpbb2/ . (and this time I've tried a little trick in an attempt to circumvent the Rootsweb message processor's mindless fragmentation of URLs; we'll see whether it works). The forum can also be accessed by going to . www.clarelibrary.ie . and clicking on "Special Services" on the left side of the homepage and then clicking on "Library Forum - A partnership of Clare County Library and Pictou-Antigonish Regional Library". I hope this is now clearer and will help listers get to the forum. And I hope you are all having a happy Easter.
