Irish Roots

Oooh... I keep forgetting to write about this.

As we were visiting with Carmel and Padraig, and John was telling them about his Walsh Irish roots, they asked about mine. Well now, the Earlys came from right around here, Donegal, but according to Carmel, it's now a Leitrim name. (County Leitrim is the least populated county in Ireland... wonder if that's a coincidence!) Anyway, that's the skinny on that part of the family.... HOWEVER! At Clonmacnoise, we found the grave of a B. Curly, 1777. Woooo hooo.... Surely that's a relative, yes? YES! Must be... gotta be.... gonna be!

Now... as for the Walshes.... they are EVERYWHERE. I think we've seen a Walsh grocery, Walsh pub, Walsh something or other in almost every town!

So much for today's genealogical discussion!

Later, kids!
