Ed you mentioned the article appeared in the Globe recently. A similar article appeared in the monthly magazine called "Canadian Geographic" last year. Unfortunatly I do not have the month- I read it in a doctors office. Article says the father of our former Prime Minister (Brian Mulrooney) was from Wexford. (My relatives would get a laugh at that-This Brian was not very popular in his last term). I will post on a Canadian list to see if anyone knows where he was from. Larry O'Brien
