Suzanne: Thank you for the very prompt response and information. We will report back here with our results. The only possibility of a match between us involves your GLYNNs and my LYNNS from Co. Antrim. I think this is quite remote, but stranger things have happened. I remember many years ago seeing signs for O'Shaughnessy's Cafe as I was driving into El Paso, TX. Naturally I partook of the cafe's offerings, and was surprised to find that the owner's father and my grandfather were 1st cousins. Bill Shaughnessy Billshau29@aol.com
