You see, my cousin just took a research trip to Ireland, researching our Byrne family line in Foxford, Co. Mayo. For me, this would be a trip of a lifetime and prayerfully I too will be able to visit the towns of my ancestors some day. For now, I'll have to let my English cousin rub it in that she's there, eating yummy food and scouring the countryside for clues and tasty tidbits of information that's she surely has dug up.
Thanks so much for the postcard, and for thinking of me! Love you!
Cindy - you have been awarded the Ancestor Approved award for your great work on your genealogy blog...please stop by my blog and pick up the award and then post the below information using the format I used when receiving it.
ReplyDeleteThe Ancestor Approved Award asks that the recipient list ten things you have learned about any of your ancestors that has surprised, humbled, or enlightened you and pass the award along to ten other bloggers who you feel are doing their ancestors proud. Here are the 10 things I have learned from my ancestors.

ReplyDeleteYeah, I get that visit the old country envy too. But at least you get to see all the data that comes back and the post cards etc. I am sure those that go suffer a little guilt too!
