Subject: [WEX] A different kind of list

Since I have been busy with work, my son's wedding and planning a trip
to Ireland, I have not had a chance to go back to the census. But I
received an interesting list yesterday. It is the confirmation list for
Ballyculane parish 1893, provided by the parish priest via a helpful
person in Wexford. According to him the church records are in poor
shape. Since the records are done as usual by the winner of the
townland's worst handwriting competion, on some you will get my best
guess with a ? It is the only record found of my gfather** and also
lists a cousin*. Confirmation was done about the age of 12. It gave me
an Angela's Ashes moment thinking of these scrubbed clean happy boys.
