I only subscribe to the digest mode and surely am no expert.....but just
thought you'ld like to know that Clonakilty is a major city in Cork and the
birthplace of Michael Collins.....his dad was born around 1810 or 12 I
think....so your relative might have grown up with the father of one of the
greatest of Ireland's patriots. I am an odd one with thoughts like that I
know.....there is a Clonakilty homepage where you can see some sights. Try
this URL http://www.clon.ie/text/system/clevis1.html hope that
works....if not I can get you there thru another site....just have to find
it where it is lost in my computer. Brightest blessings, Candice
