I am trying to get more and wondered about the little family that left in 1847. Can't help but think they had to be relatives! I thought I might e-mail Al if I don't hear back. Sounds like an impressive resource that he has! Thanks again for your offer. What is your interest in Kilkenny? Kathy Clare
