Hello Robert Cowan and thank you for for your very interesting posting of March 20th. My Derry ancestors don't fit into those you are researching, but still they too are part of the great Celtic dispersal which was the leading edge of the spead of the English speaking world. I will be pleased to hear how your research progresses and I look forward to see updates from time to time on this list. Slainte Greg in Raumati New Zealand --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
