Im searching for Laurence Nolan born 1822, married Anastasia circa 1847 left for Liverpool with son Laurence born 1848 in 1849, only clue to where they came from is 'the foot of the wicklow mountains' (story handed down through the generations) Anastasia was believed to be the daughter of Joseph & Mary Kelly & she was born in 1826 As to how I came to be interested in family research, my parents came to live in nz in the 50's & when I was 12 my grandmother came from liverpool to visit for 6 mnths and shared a room with me, she was concerned the family storys and our history would be lost and spent the whole time telling me everything she knew, she told me all the 'secrets' gave me mysterys to sort out and with her wonderful way of telling a story had me hooked, she died 6 months after returning to Liverpool & 35 yrs later Im still just as obsessed regards Glen Sent: 13 January 2006 10:53 p.m. To: IRL-WICKLOW-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [Wicklow] RATH and a few words from the annoying one Cara I may be able to add more light on the surname, RATH not in Wicklow but in Wexford I have no idea what happened to Davids reply the gremlins ate my mail and it appears folk its been eating a lot of my mails. Cute little gremlin that eats mails for hire to anyone who wants him/her going cheap. SO if you have been waiting on a mail from me ask the Gremlin what he did with the mails So Now the new year has reached us and almost half way into 2006, I feel it must be time to ask all those listers doing research to once again take a punt and place their names down the list............ please in the subject line place your surnames in CAPITALS and in the body of your mail any new leads, requests or indeed just tell me you are still looking Or if you are all feeling brave enough a few words about yourself, why you entered into family reseach, a light bit of humour about your family......... So lets get it rolling folk, we have an under used list these days, and just because I am not annoying you on a daily base doesnt mean I am not interested in where you have reached in your family research.
