Would anyone know if there is a Gaelic word for the name "XAVIER". Thank you. F X Fitzgerald

Interesting little document on the ethnic ancestry reported in the 2000 US Census. About 30 percent claimed Irish ancestry. Nifty little map showing where people ended up. <http://www.census.gov/prod/2004pubs/c2kbr-35.pdf> This is *all* I know about this report. PUH-leeze don't complain to me if the link doesn't work or if you have any other problems with this report. Sorry, but you're on your own here.... -- --- Richard A.
