Of course, that will only be if there are remaining documents from that time period in the Catholic churches of Ireland--a daunting prospect in its own right.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-37192957854983351402014-08-27T12:59:30.917-07:002014-08-27T12:59:30.917-07:00English is a slippery language too - "coming ...English is a slippery language too - "coming from Dublin" may only mean that is where she "departed" (i.e., on a ship) and not actually where she lived.<br /><br />But... hopefully when you blow the dust off some record that catches your eye... you will find "her."Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-26576212157882875332014-08-26T21:21:45.310-07:002014-08-26T21:21:45.310-07:00Thanks for asking, Far Side.

We had no idea.<br /><br />Since we are a fat commute from the Bay Area, it has to be an earthquake of at least 6 on the Richter scale for us to even feel it. Apparently, the epicenter of this one was north of San Francisco, making it even farther away from us.<br /><br />I hope you will not let that genealogy class scare you away from plugging along and doing your own tree. I was going to say "You'd be surprised how much you can accomplish when you work on it slow and steady, bit by bit," but then, I realized you already know that. Besides, you have so much information already. Getting what you have organized all in one place can be encouraging.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-23863572083848427572014-08-26T21:04:47.403-07:002014-08-26T21:04:47.403-07:00It's the outrageous ones that wave that red fl...It's the outrageous ones that wave that red flag for me, Wendy. Fun to stumble upon--certainly a kick to write about--my automatic response to those doozies is, "Oh, this couldn't <i>possibly</i> be true!"<br /><br />...but sometimes, it is. That's just how things can turn out.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-69907344663657905552014-08-26T08:01:40.401-07:002014-08-26T08:01:40.401-07:00Documentation it is a struggle.

I attended a genealogy class last night...oh my I am not certain how much time I can give to the project but I should get the basic straight line stuff done first and then work on the tree.<br />I thought about you and the earthquake...did you have any damage?
