I really don't want to travel all that way, only to find out I brought the wrong records...or forgot something...or made assumptions that would take too long to correct. Actually, I'm hoping to be prepared with a Plan B...and Plan C...just in case something goes sideways and I get stuck on one line. It's not like a trip to Salt Lake City or Fort Wayne, where I know I'll be back again soon. This may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-85130978059430285232014-03-27T19:52:23.722-07:002014-03-27T19:52:23.722-07:00You're going to Ireland?

On the other hand, I certainly am motivated to get my money's worth out of a trip like this--besides not wanting to squander a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity--so it would certainly be worth my while to revisit Colleen's blog and take some serious notes.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-20859838610938129002014-03-26T12:02:28.618-07:002014-03-26T12:02:28.618-07:00Since you will be travelling, I would make folders...Since you will be travelling, I would make folders for copies you collect along your travels. If you take photos make sure they are in the cloud or in dropbox or someplace besides on a SD Card ( My sister in law lost all photos of her Ireland Vacation because she lost the SD card) <br />I am excited for you to go...I am certain it is going to be a wonderful trip for you! :)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-59326191038912782112014-03-26T06:22:03.098-07:002014-03-26T06:22:03.098-07:00Falvey, Flanagan, and Flannery...

She knew where certain records were housed, which churches to visit; she had even emailed people "in charge" of whatever. Even then she got bogged down here and there with driving directions. I have no doubt you'll whip this to-do list into something manageable in no time.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.com
