Peggy, On one of my research trips to Ireland, a relative asked me, "Why are all of you coming over here to dig up our past when we're trying to bury it?" Classic Irish wit. But I've noticed on other trips that the Irish are becoming as interested in their family histories as we are. David Collins Hudson, MA, USA irl-cork-request@rootsweb.com wrote: Today's Topics: 9.
