Not at all the same families, but thank you for the connection to the website. One that I was unaware of.

For me..it was a visit to Ireland. Made friends with various folks. I got the usual " you must have Irish blood, you fit in so well". I said "no, no Irish connections"
Came home and decided to "Google".
I've now had many happy/frustrating years researching my Irish ancestors.

The Common Room / Mohill, County Leitrim

I just want to say thank you to the good people of Mohill. I went in search of ancient rellies and folks could not have done more.
I was driven round the village, various people were contacted(not by me) and all sorts of guidance offered.While I had no success, if you think you have rellies from there...do go. Everyone will help you in any way they can.

Admin..if this is in the wrong place..please move or whatever is appropriate.
