I was also fortunate to reply to a message from 2001. I got in touch with Sheila and we found that our grandfathers Michael & Patrick Bransfield of Waterford were brothers. My mother kept a journal of her first trip back to Ireland & the UK in 1949. She had names and addresses of her cousins that she visited in the UK. Sheila was living there with her family at that time. This was a wonderful surprise for both of us!!!! Kay
