Dear Friends, If you want to refresh your Irish researching skills, you may want to re-view the "Who Do You Think You Are?" segment about Rosie O'Donnell's family. Although this search is oversimplified compared to ours, you just may find something that you've overlooked. As a sidebar, on Pt. 1 the very opening flash and minutes>9:25 show interiors and exteriors of the NYC Municipal Archives at 31 Chambers St., NY, NY, originally the Surrogates Court Building. It's lush interior is reflective of when the Tammany machine ran New York. "Law & Order" is one of several tv shows filmed here. You may identify with records that continually state place of origin as just "Ireland." May the O'Donnell story inspire you to find your Irish townland. We found one this week! Rosie concludes by saying that hers is a story of horror or redemption, and she chooses redemption.

Thanks for posting these links. I saw this episode when it was first on TV and it was very powerful.  Maybe even more so the second time around.  The cliché is true, one picture is worth a thousand words.
