This may be of interest to some so I'll post it here. When I first started to look into geneology 15 years ago I had 2 old letters from the 40s between my mother and her Ireland great aunt. I took a chance and called information in Roscommon Ireland to try to get a phone number. The operator was very helpful ,suggesting I try a different person in the area who might be related. Well that was the sister of the Giblin I was seeking and she arranged to have her call me. It was a thrill to myself and my father to talk to someone in Ireland and she was delighted too. It had been 40 years. She was in her mid 80s then. My dad passed a year later happy that we had found a link to the old sod. This was actually a sideways branch of the family by marriage on my mother's side. MY gggrandfather Patrick Moran's brother James had a son Andrew who had a daughter Annie M oran (who I talked to) who had married Thomas Giblin who died in 1972. Patrick's daughter Winifred (born 1862) married my ggrandfather John O'Herron and came to Cleveland with her sister Elizabeth who married married twice to a Mr. Brown and a Mr. Hilliard. I don't know if any other Morans came here. Alan
