Thanks very much, Loree. I really loved working on it and putting "a face" on some of these people. As it turns out, there are some quite interesting stories in the U.S. part of their lives as well! While much of the story is focused on Rutland, VT, the immigrants moved around too.

Hi Mary Lee, The upcoming publishing of your book about the Ballykilcline story that is so dear to your heart must be a dream come true. I can only imagine the time and effort involved in such an important and historical undertaking, and the pride that you must have in its completion and acceptance by a publisher. Great job! I will be anxiously awaiting the day when you announce that it is on the bookshelves so that I can pick up a copy and make it known that I know the author. (Well...sort of) I suspect that the reading of it, although my gr-grandfather was from Boyle - not Ballykilcline, will bring me closer to this man who, at the age of sixteen, traveled alone about a "famine ship" in the summer of 1847, managed to survived the journey, found his way from Quebec to Boston, married another Irish immigrant twelve years later, and brought up a family of nine children there. I will always be very grateful to you for bringing his experience to life through your book. Congratulations and thank you.

Mary Lee: Sounds like I really need to get your book. A cousin and I inherited the task of finishing a book by my uncle about the decendants of Pat Conway, who left Sligo in 1839 for the New World, married the upstairs maid of his employer in Cleveland, and fathered ten children, all of whom lived to adulthood.
