Hello Catherine Got a telephone call from my brother Gerard today who directed me to the website to look at the photos of John back at school. Felt very proud to see him but also to see Mrs O'Hare or Miss McNeill as I knew her when she taught me. I loved her she was a brilliant teacher and so glamorous, A lot of changes since I was in Laurencetown because of course it was the old school I attended. I love the website and will now be a frequent visitor to it. Keep up the good work Catherine.

Hello. I'm in Dublin today doing some research before I venture up to County Down, Tullylish by Monday 19/9 to look up ancestor history records and have a look around. Would love to make contact with someone local who might be able to help me in my research Mary Jane Fraser married to Richard Frazer on 17/1/1857 in the Parish Church Doughan Tullylish. Also, trying find ancestry history on Mary's family. • James Kennedy born 1816 Mullabrack County Down, died 20/12/1876 in Gympie Australia – I cannot find any details on his wife: Elanor Aitchison (or Acheson) – have given a 10 year period for marriage and tried both surnames but no luck • James’s father – William Kennedy – cannot find anything on him either Kind regards Les Barkla lesbarkla@@hotmail.com P: 07751867056

Hi Catherine. so proud of the "wee" brother Gerry

Catherine, Thank you for showing everyone such great coverage of this special occasion. We were all very proud of John O'Dowd today. It was a celebration for the parish and wider community represented by the small number of guests we were equipped to invite. For so many people in our community this will stir up many happy memories of their childhood. We can all reflect on how important our formative childhood days have been, and this helps us to ensure that our children have positive experiences as they are growing and developing. Happy Days!

enjoy your website lets me know whats happening

Hi every one, just a little word to say we r all fine hear in vic the weather is picking up looking forward to the summer and coming home for the new year and seeing every one. so see you all soon love the McCONVILLES

Catherine, I am so looking forward being pianist for Sr. Bernadette's party on Sunday night, but as always, I will be dedicating, playing and singing, "My Secret love" to you, our very own special song. Everyone knows what that means to you when I do it for you, - you know, that wee glint in your eye that you get and that big smile of yours (which doesn't be seen very often), anyway, I look forward to it. x

Patrick Finnegan Down Under in Australia Can you send an email to Caoimhe. her email address is [email protected]. need to speak with you and Catherine the website is fantastic. you've made it very well

Catherine, Just to encourage you; This web-site is really fantastic! As an ex-pat I love to catch up with the going-ons back home. Please say " Hello " to Sr.Bernadette for me.We used to be close neighbors on Whinney Hill.I was a good friend of Sean and Joannie, her parents, too! Please pass on to her my e-mail address as I hope to contact her sometime. Again, Catherine, keep up the great work! Paddy and family Down Under!!!

Thank you for this magnificently inspiring website. Beautiful beyond words! My ancestors from County Down were BLAINS. I suspect they were Presbyterian. I also had BALFOURS and WHITES from County Fermanagh (Anglicans), Then there were DINANS and HARTNEDYS from County Clare, ardent Roman Catholics, SHERMAN , many others from Galway, Tipperary, Limerick and Cork as well as Meath, and Antrim…Mary Wilkinson, Erindale Village, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, where they all settled, intermarried and lived inspiring lives, still making grand contributions to Canada’s history. By the way, my oldest son Matthew is the Historian for Heritage Mississauga if people from your area came to Ontario, maybe he or his students can help. Once again, a very sincere THANK YOU. The photographs are wonderful.

I only meant to take a quick look, but two hours later I'm still here! I've so enjoyed looking at wonderful pictures of Tullylish, reading the Family Searches and catching up with a little bit of 'home'. Catherine you do a fantastic job and when I retire in the summer I'm going to have a go at researching the Byrne family so I'm afraid I'll be bothering you too. Thank you for helping us to remember. Love Liz

A lovely website. Thanks for the information on Guilford ABC. Bernard McComiskey who trains all the boxers is my the cousin of my wife and we are very proud and excited to see Clodagh McComiskey doing so well. God bless

Great website I am in the 1932 school photo and I would like to hear from any of my school classmates

The P. 6 and 7 class worked very hard on these terrific pictures under the direction of Mrs Reavey. We were all very proud of them. Thank you Fr. Powell for displaying them for all to see.... and well done boys and girls!

Congratulations to Nuala Monaghan on her fabulous artwork in the Texaco art competition - well done. Also to Master Monaghan on the fabulous Stations of the Cross artwork in the Chapel - well done to all the artists and the staff who encouraged and inspired them.

Just wanted to congratulate all who assisted in making the Chapel so beautiful over Easter and the Choirs for enhancing the masses with their beautiful music and singing.

Congratulations to Nuala Monaghan on her fantastic drawing of Finbar Furey - it is absolutely incredible!! Well done Nuala!

I just want to say that this is a wonderful website and Catherine Mc Evoy is doing a great job assisting people who are trying to find information regarding their elusive ancestors.
