I am happily retired and helping my still working husband discover his Irish roots. They have led to Newfoundland! I've been doing genealogy (did I spell that right?) since before there was a World Wide Web, but I've never encountered anything like the Irish! It seems like everyone has a nick name, and you find the information you're looking for when you least expect it.
Anyway, I'm glad I found THIS place, and hope there may be more answers here. Cheers!
