Robyn, We have been researching in the area of Hospital/Herbertstown and would be interested in finding out what the title is of the book that you referred to in your message regarding O'Briens. Can you recall from where you were able to get the book? The family that we have been researching is Nealon. There were a few families in the area around Hospital/Herbertstown and we suspect that our particular family had settled in the small village of Ballinscoola. Does the book cover this area at all? Any mention of Nealons in the book? Any info appreciated. -- Annette & Virginia Garner Researching: Dubuc/Dubuque, Fitzpatrick, Garner, Kemp, Kirby, Marie, Nealon, Rose, Roy/LeRoy, Toner, Weston, Zisler http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~tdgarner
