Hello All, I must have deleted the original "nasty" email. However, I have to reiterate that Cara is one of the most helpful and insightful list owners around. I have an Irish brick wall to overcome and Cara has always "kept and eye out" for me. I enjoy this list as discussions are informative. I also agree with Edie that some lists are down right "dead", which is unfortunate. I welcome spirited conversation as the camaraderie also breeds communication. Over the years, many list owners have actually limited the conversation that they deem as "off topic". I believe that this has resulted in dying lists. Of course, things can't go too far astray, but most of us are amateur researchers and need the guidance of more experienced folk. Many of us come from areas far from Dublin and profit from those familiar with the area. We are encouraged by the group effort. If I make a mistake or am unclear in my question, I appreciate the help I have gotten from the list and the list owner. Cara...you are the best!!!

I am a newbie to Irish genealogy and could do with all of the help I can get. I am just getting into what could be my brickwall of over 40 years broken down. Seems Ireland is the possible place for my 4th Great Grandfathers birth.. Surmise ionly at this stage. I am on a lot of lists as well and one in particular, my maiden surname of Place, seem to be the only poster, along with another chap.. Everyone has the same chance to contribute if they so wish. Thats what these lists are for not to sit and lurk and let just the odd one do all of the work. Though if folk wish to lurk, that is their choice as well but dont complain if somone like yourself wants to be friendly and helpful.
