I haven't used this site very much recently. However, I remember Christopher helping me many years ago when I posted, for which I was very grateful.

So sorry to hear of his passing.

The wonderful thing is,that his help is still here .

Often when doing a search, there he is with a helpful hint or an answer.

Where else could he have left such a great legacy.

Gone, and much missed, but never to be forgotten as long as Rootchat lasts.

Had the same thoughts myself.....the other day searching on rootschat came across an old post that I hadn't seen before which steered me in the right direction :)

Salute to Christopher!

Hi, all!

Just got back from a week touring in Ireland.

One day we found ourselves in a place called Bunratty - which brought back memories of Christopher, who used to post on these boards!

I remember his icon used to carry the words "St Patrick's night at Bunratty" - I'm not sure if this was the same place (how many CAN there be?) - all the same, we went into "Durty Nelly's" (next door to Bunratty Castle) and raised our glasses to Christopher's memory.

Wherever you are, Christopher, I hope you are now able to unravel some of you genealogical mysteries!

Cheers, mate!!

I've been to a banquet at Bunratty! In the 1960s. I noticed Christopher's avatar too.

Cheers,
