Following Paddy's advice as outlined above, we met six of my wife's first cousins once removed (and several of their grown children) in the family home in Crossard and had a delightful reunion.

Pictures were taken, light refreshments were had and acquaintances established. Everyone was so gracious.

Thanks to all who helped for making this trip of ours more memorable.

In trying to do some research of my own last night, I came upon this post, and found my family history!

George, I am Liz's first cousin, Caity (Cathleen). I am Rita's sister, Clare's daughter. I would love to be in touch with Liz! And thank you for all the information, to all!
