John, this is my new email address,sorry for not makinmg this known,as you may have guessed I have been researching our Gavan/Gavin/Gaven etc family from Mayo for many years and have collected all info on every family that I could to eventually make into a database for other researchers but you are probably aware in this genealogy hobby it is really an obsession! and the more you find the more you want to know so the data base languishes in the cupboard, but I am happy to help/share any Gavan/Gavin etc searchers with whatever I have. Today in Australia its Melbourne cup the biggest horse race eevry second Tuesday of November, the entire nation stops literally, even when I was a kid at school forty years ago the nuns would stop and put on the radio to hear " the cup" Bestv wishes. Ray Gavan.
