Hello everybody, After spending the past month in hospital under the watchful care of Limerick's best, I'm back and looking forward to perusing the seven hundred-odd digests in my mailboxes. This has been my second absence in recent times and it has made me realise how much I enjoy these lists and look forward to reading your diverse postings. My partner Siobhan had actually been printing out my email and bringing it to the hospital, until my printer ran out of ink. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who continued to visit my website, making it one of the most frequently visited genealogy sites on the internet, boasting over twenty-nine thousand visits in the past six months. http://www.geocities.com/irishancestralpages/ I hope to be adding to the existing databases and adding some new databases over the next two months. I would also like to thank all of those who joined the Irish Ancestral Pages Community. http://www.geocities.com/irishancestralpages/ I am sending this email to a number of lists which I subscribe to, so please bear with me if you belong to similar lists. Regards, Philip ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Irish Ancestral Pages http://www.geocities.com/irishancestralpages/ We dedicate this site to the promotion and encouragement of Irish genealogy and in our own way try and help those researching their Irish Ancestral Past. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
