Hi Barb, I'm sure that a "quirky story" I put in with my "facts" is the reason I found a cousin in Ireland. I wrote that my great-grandmother's brother was a coachman for Lord Ventry and was killed when his coach crashed during a stormy night. Someone on this board had heard the same story from a friend in Ireland and put the 2 of us together. (Thanks by the way! Was it Denis? My computer crashed shortly after and I lost all contact information with my helper and the email address of my cousin as well. I'd be happy to be back in touch on both counts.) So you never know, but it is certainly a possibility that a quirky story might just make the difference. Blessings, Kerry Re-thinking and sharing family stories --even the trivial and unprovable-- really could improve our Irish luck!
