HI Jack, Another thing to consider is writing a letter to the editor in the Leitrim Guardian. I did that and had four replies. They publish a letter like that about once a month. You can check out the web site for the paper and read some of the ones that have been written for ideas. I agree that if you have a Reynolds family living on the land that your GG grandfather was living on they will be related somehow. My Keegan's living in Leitrim today are related to our family here in the states. They have never responded to our letters to them (although I continue to write in case they are interested but to busy to write back), but I have been in contact with related families in Leitrim, England and the states because of my letters to families and the paper. Do as much research as you can on your side of the ocean and then contact away. Most Irish cousins are happy to hear from there long lost relatives even if they don't respond. They still feel that we are coming home when we go to visit. And that is the way we felt when we did. Hey, what do you have to lose? And if you are blessed then you will hear from someone as I did. I would write the letter, Becky
