Myluck - of Eleanor Teresa's birth-date I am certain (she was, after all, my birth mother!) and, through her daughter, Brighid (my half-sister), I've established a life-history. But when it came to the exigencies of Michael's life it has been difficlt to pin down dates and events. Bear in mind that my mother lived for much of her life in France and had lost contact with the family in Ireland (and England). Thus Bighid has been in no position to fill in the gaps.
It's that piecing together that I'm trying to achieve. I've only just been able to begin tha task through records available on the web and am not in a position to spend much money on the pursuit.
Hence my Roostchat enquiry and the splendid results so far. I look forward to further information and, meanwhie, am doing my best through an channels available.
That's enough personal history.
