Well done, Mary Ellen, I can find names any time but to be transported to
the days when my own personal ancestors who I have been searching for were
among their friends gives me more than just names. This site, as
previously stated, is for Irish people and if I am not mistaken every email
comes with a little x in the corner that is like the button that changes
channels on the remote control...if you don't like us just turn us off.
Mary Kay Johnsen - Wisconsinite so glad to be able to visit "family".
