Carol, My efforts in Ireland were very little BUT I need to tell all so they understand the situation I found myself in, when I reached Ireland, I became very ill and the illness ( a new one) did not allow me to get around as I desired, so researching was placed on the back burner, and I did little things, like just enjoy being in Ireland, which of course was not a little thing, many friends I intended to meet up with and meet also for the first time, were placed in the ( to do next trip basket for I am going to return once more to Ireland) so therefore no I did not follow through on your Jones family, I never even looked for my own family. But I may have gathered snippets who knows I just wrote and wrote on the days I was able to visit the Library in Dublin. And as I began to feel my old self again, which was towards the end of my trip, time continued to tick at a double rate, so I put on my best smile, my best walking shoes, and simply accepted it was not going to be a researching holiday, but a holiday to rest, and enjoy the scenery, so with my camera on my shoulder a prayer on my lips I went off and for the first time in 20 years I became simply a tourist in Ireland, oh what a delight it was the weather was kind, ( only 5 days rain) and the the short trips I was able to endure, I added many many photos of nothing but delightful scenery ( with a headstone and church or two) to my already large file. I am sorry for those I intended to do things for, but these things as they say are sent to try us, this time they tried me, I did not appreciate the asthma like condition I developed but I beat it in the end, and for a few weeks I revelled in no researching, and just being content to use my camera. So my apolgies to those of you who are waiting on bits n pieces on your research, and all that ( but dont think I did not harvest bits n pieces I did) But I simply concentrated on gathering with a wide open view to it being helpful to simply anyone who is on the lists I admin. I am now home where it is freezing and typing up some things, I will be loading pictures to the net, and will supply a link to my photos if anyone is at all intereted in seeing Ireland through my eyes. Thankyou for being a great list working along slowly whilst I simply ducked in and out and read snips n snaps of mails that appeared.

Cara, So sorry to hear you were ill while in Ireland. I am anxious to read your "snips and snaps" and I would love to have the link to your pictures when you are able to get them on the net. Take care of yourself and hope it won't be too long before you can make another trip to Ireland.

Cara, I am so glad you were able to enjoy a holiday. You, who does so much for others, really does deserve some 'down' time. I can wait for as long as it takes to find my elusive ancestors, I've waited this long anyway. Hoping that you have fully recovered (or are on your way). We miss your input..it's always valuable.
