Well the time has come ( almost) to say goodbye to the year 2008, and it is almost time to raise the glasses, high, and toast a new year in, so for those of you who have a wee drop,or dram or even a pint or two~ fill your glasses and whether it be half full, or half empty, raise it to your lips and enjoy the thought that the year 2009, has 365 days to ask more questions about your ancestors, and perhaps this may be the year where the mortar holding your brick wall together crumbles, and you find that one piece of the family jigsaw that binds your families past together. Although my walls are full of cracks, I long to see it crumble and fall and find that missing grandad's birth.........see even I am forever hopeful. So I am wishing each and every one of you, a warm and hearty New Year, May all the things you have set as goals, be fulfilled. I sincerely hope to see you all back in the New Year with a few more new people joining daily, the lists membership is growing, so be aware we have new listers, be kind to one another and may 2009 be a good year for all. And the Luck of the Irish be with you. God Bless Cara

Happy New Year to one and all. Cara a special thanks for all the help you have given me and so many others, may you have a speedy recovery and wonderful New Year.

Hi Jean I know it's tough trying to trace but it takes a lot of patience and perseverence . I have seen the name Old in my research and I believe it was on the Wicklow Cemetery lists or text. Will keep a note as I browse again but you may also do some browsing - if not done already. Other associated names would be useful too. That is a nice message from Cara ......the words roll off her (tongue) pen like a poets but then having so much association and being influenced by the beautiful Vale of Avoca immortalised by Thomas Moore one would expect those poetical utterances . Thank you Cara and you are wished a healthy and happy New Year after your eventful 2008. So looking forward to giving you a leg up Jean during 2009 Seasons greetings Golding ----- Original Message ----- From: "jean old" <[email protected]> To: "Cara_Links" <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2008 10:07 AM Subject: Re: [IRL-WICKLOW] NEW YEAR ROLLS AROUND > Hi > Even though i dont know if any of my ancestors came from Wicklow > they did come from ireland like everyone else still searching makes it > hard though > when you dont know which part LOL for some of us its only three hours > away.
