Pat, Yes I did contact the Longford Heritage Center before my trip. They sent me the information about 6 weeks after I had sent them the money. I did not go there when I was in Ireland since they said they sent me all the information they could find - even though they had no record of my ggrandfather only his family. I have no idea who Nancy dealt with (I did not see her note) but as I said my inquiry was in 1998 their research prices may have gone up but that does seem high to me. ---------- >From: Colon <colon@nac.net> >To: IRL-LONGFORD-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: Accomodations in County Longford >Date: Tue, Feb 22, 2000, 1:21 AM > >Hello Pat, > >I noticed in your reply to Carol, you mentioned the Longford Roots at >the Longford Museum and Heritage Center.
