"D'O'D" is a wonderful singer by the way, who although isn't quite to my style must be respected in his ability to maintain a world wide audience interested in an heritage of irish music. regards Daz

Thought maybe there was a die hard fan here that would know the answer. Also thought the list could use a little Irish music conversation !! Hoping he was one of our cousins !! Have a wonderful day wherever you are !! Cece

Good point, I wasn't sure how to reply, but that should do it nicely.

Morning All Listers: I found this on the Free SurnameSearch site this AM and thought it was worth forwarding to alert everyone to this bogus program that the authors thinks is fun............. Genealogists beware. A software company is marketing a new program to Internet advertisers that could quickly generate Web sites full of extensive, but fake, family trees. Critics say the approach appears to be part of a new money-making scheme to lure people who search for family names on Google, Yahoo or other search engines to Web sites that use bogus data to help ensure they appear high on "hit lists." They then make money if visitors click on advertisers' links. To read the complete article go to the URL below.........

Thank you Brendan for your help. I will look at the website that you suggested. Happy Holidays! Regards, Patte

There seems to be a problem with the email. Should i look it up or would it be easier to write? Mark

Thanks for the tip. Will definately look into it. Mark

Mark Could I suggest you write to the Bray Library and enlist the help of Robbie, he is most helpful and I do know that all the older newspapers for the *Wicklow People * are housed there. I know you said Rathdrum but Wicklow People should cover it, but they will know where to look if its another paper. County Librarian, Wicklow County Library Hq., Boghall Road, Bray, Co. Wicklow.

Does anyone have access to old neswpapers in the Wicklow area? Im trying to find an obituary of an Austin O'Donnell who died on 4th October1905. He was a policeman and died from T.B & Thrombosis. Aged 32. It was in Newcastle, Rathdrum. Mark

Patte There's a Byrne around every corner in Wicklow! Can I suggest you look in the Irish telephone directory... go to www.goldenpages.ie. On the right hand side you will see PHONE BOOK... click on this and then search Byrne-Greystones-Wicklow and you will see you get 30 results listed. My brother did think that the Laurence Byrne he referred to was somehow connected to the Carrol family who lived in St Brigids Park, Blacklion. I note there is a Byrne listed for St Brigids Park and that may be a good place to start - there are only about 20 cottages in the road and everyone knows everyone else. Hope this helps.

Brendan, I appreciate the info on Laurence Byrne. Most likely he is a relation of mine. My g-granduncle had a son named Laurence. This could be him. I will be travelling to Ireland in April and will most certainly make a point to visit Redmond Cemetery. Would you brother happen to know of any Byrnes still living in the area? Thanks again for your assistance. Regards, Patte Fera

Patte The Roman Catholic Church of St Kilian is in Blacklion and it is in the Parish of Greystones.Greystones paris church is The Church of the Holy Redeemer and the parish priest is the Rev.Father Edna Lloyd who is fairly new to the parish. I obviously missed your initial enquiry but presume it is in respect of a Laurence Byrne.My bother who still lives in the area tells me that in the 1950s there was a Laurence Byrne living in Blacklion, he would then probably be in his 50s.... he died some years ago and is most probably buried in Redford cemetery which is the parish burial place.He didn't believe this person was married. I hope this may be of some assistance to you.
