Hi Lin, Your response is much appreciated. I only live about an hour and a half from Troy, so will try to get the time to check out the grave for Wm. Walsh at Mt. Ida Cemetery. I don't have any info on Bridget and Simon outside of their time in Green Island, N.Y. and hope to possibly get something from the Walshes or Canarys. A trip to Dublin in April at least pinned down where my great grandparents came from so that will be a big help with the research. Thanks again for taking the time to write. Sheila
