    1. Re: [IRL-WEXFORD] Thankfulness
    2. Cara not sure what happened but would like to share my experience. Years ago when I started there was not any where near the information available now. But some kind person gave me a boost up with info from "over there". It made me want to pay it forward and I tried. I have shared info found in my trips to Wexford and Dublin libraries that can be found in our archives, I transcribed over 1/2 of the 1901 census to put onliine and had to stop when I moved away from an LDS. My main area of help is the Irish in Wales especially in Merthyr Tydfil. I have purchased every thing I can, census, parish records etc. and have been able to help many people find rellies. I am not trying to blow my own horn or look for an atta girl but to show the reaction of people. Some do not even respond, some say see what "I" found , the list goes on. But the one who really appreciates the help and says thanks gets a " your welcome and advice to pay it forward" from me. The vast information you have given to us and since it is now in the archives will help many in the future is greatly appreciated. You have more then paid it forward. I am on a cite in GB where you post your tree and try to match with other trees. I have found many rellies that way but I have more info then they do. Some without asking for proof blindly just add my info to their trees. So I am still paying it forward. To get off my soap box, there are takers and givers. All that you have given is warmly accepted. Joan
