In September 1997 I visited Tramore, the birthplace of my grandfather, John McGrath, born March 27, 1863. In the spring of 1997 I had contacted Star of the Sea Church there for information and received the name of a gentleman who was an enormous help. He even brought me to my great-grandfather's land. Please contact me at ebulger1@nycap.rr.com for more information. Tramore is a small seaside resort town, south of the City of Waterford, used for vacation by the Irish. I don't think tour buses go there. They had a Ferris Wheel, etc., and a few arcades and the beach. Just south are some lovely cliffs, not huge but interesting to see.
