Thank you for your comments, Patsy! Now I know Scotland Yard isn't going to come looking for me or my grandmother's tickets! She was always so secretive about them it used to scare me whenever she would bring one home. I have 4 Paint Horses - 2 Paint-bred mares, and two registered full Paint foals. They are wonderful animals. My Irish maternal great-grandfather, James Irvine, was a coachman for a wealthy Philadelphia banker in the 1880's, so it looks like horses "race" through my family. You wouldn't happen to have any Somervilles in your line, would you? We are having winter here in southern Ohio...about 2 inches of snow already with 2 or 3 more on the way....very pretty this morning.

I have done some reading about Lord Ventry evicting from Dingle (my ancestors).? I am wondering if anyone knows if the estate papers of Lord Ventry are ever going to be opened for research.? A long while back I was told that they are housed in Dublin, but not available for researchers.? That was about 5 or more years ago.

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!

(Mom's family lived in Holyoke, MA). This is a quote from her that I had in my genealogy: "(Nan) worked in (19)30's and 40's for (the) owner of (the) Irish Sweepstakes, whose wife was sick for a long time. She used to send tickets to sweepstakes home for the family to buy." So, I'm thinking it probably was legal to own a ticket in the US. And... yay to Co. Kerry being next in line for the 1911 census through the National Archives!!! I, too, thought Co. Kerry would be down at the bottom. ~Patsy~ It is winter in western MA!!!
