This piece that I have posted on my blog is not likely to be of interest to all members of this list. What item ever is? That is, excepting the ones that Linda writes. They are always a hoot whether they fit with my research interests or not. I read them all. This piece will mostly be of interest to those who have families in Ireland in the mid-1800s in what were called /mixed marriages/, where only one of the couple was aligned to /the old Scottish kirk/ as my Irish great-great-grandmother would have called it. I learned a lot taking the time to assemble the information, and still have more to learn.If you spot any mistakes, please let me know.
