In response to your news Christina, that's wonderful! Every tiny clue helps. Although sometimes it 'helps' us go a little more crazy trying to connect the dots. It's always fun to put the new information in the hopper and see where it may take us.

I got one of those emails out of the blue last week. Not an Irish ancestor but one I had no info on after she was widowed and disappeared around 1820. A descendant from this second marriage wrote to me and said she remarried a third time and died an old lady in Iowa. Who knew. I last had sight of her in Pennsylvania. Without this email, I never would have found her and in fact did not hope to find what happened to her. I still don't know her maiden name, but I know about her later life. So, it is true. Someone somewhere may have the missing piece of the puzzle. Great news Erin. Chris
