Hello Sasser Group, I received this in part from another list and I was wondering if any from this group knows about this traditional naming pattern for children. ++++++ >I wish I had saved the thread about how the Irish traditionally named >their children (ie. first son after fathers father, second son after >mothers father etc....) ++++++ If anyone knows please e-mail me. I will pass it along. Cordially, Earl Sasser ewsass@writeme.com
