Carole: I too am related to the Ruckles/Ruttles of Fort View in Ballingrane, County Limerick. My great grandmother was born there to Elizabeth Ruttle and Ralph Sheppard in 1861 and she attended the Heck-Embury Methodist Chapel right near the train tracks in Ballingrane, down the road a bit from Fort View. She married a Catholic from Tralee, Anthony Flynn and they came to Boston, Massachusetts after marrying in Cork. Distant cousin Walter Ruttle and his wife Nan live next door to Fort View, a son and his family live on the farm now. I hope you get to visit, it truly is the Emerald Isle! Becky Barton in NY
