Thank you!

We had quite a diverse gathering of family on May 13th! Folks from the UK and US dropping in on and disrupting the lives of their cousins in Trien and neighboring Galway and not so neighboring Westmeath for a romp through fields and farmlands and the remnants of old homes ... it was great!

Thanks to all who came in for the visit: Colm, Emma, Finola, Martina, PJ, Kath , and Ellie.

The gathering was a bit larger then intended, and I fear I was the cause of such a big turnout, bearing the name 'Thomas Grady' in the Cloonreliagh/Derreentighe area turns out to have been a bit of a draw. I hope I did not disappoint (but I likely did!).

Again, Thanks ALL!

Below pic of all of us at Moore Cemetery. I think our ancestors would be pleased by the gathering and by the time we spent there among them:

 

I now have to return to documenting the finds from the trip, and I'm way behind on that.
