Ed, Thank you very much for your welcome. It is nice to be welcomed. I tried to write you off list because I am about to unsubscribe from it. But I just found out I can't get through to this address. My second cousin is coming to visit us next month from Ireland. Nine years ago I not only did not know they and many other relatives existed, but what county my grandparents even came from. I started much the same as I have done here. One small step that could possibly be parlayed into another. Since then I have veritable sources and documentation for each birth, death, marriage, passenger list entry. It's all in my book, Brennans of The Bog. I'm proud of that scholarly work and I don't need passive aggressive methods to debunk mine, unfortunately through you. I did use the IFHF database and got some interesting hints. Thank you again.
