The Galway list is working perfectly.............. You're all - or most of you - just doing the seasonal thing but you are reading. May I take this opportunity to wish all those subscribers who celebrate the current religious time/festival - a wonderful and peaceful Christmas and to all those who don't as well as those who do - I wish you all a wodnerful 2005. May you have a good one on a personal basis - and may you find loads of branches for those trees of yours. Who knows.............maybe someone will decide that they've possibly got ond of my Lyons' or Noonans who actually emigrated - and maybe I'll do some of my own family history research!! Jane:-)
