Arvo, Toots! Haven’t mentioned in a while, have I? I’ve been researching, with another family member, my 2nd Great Grandmother - and how she came to Australia from Ireland. We knew her father, but her mother’s name was confusing, (Johanna or Judy?) BDM Records didn’t help, & we lost sight of her parents and siblings in Australia (they didn’t all come at once.) Looking through my DNA matches on , I found a 4th-6th cousin - & yes! Much info unlocked!

@caity So, cousins on that GGGrandmother's side? Do you know where they are?

@sister_ratched Yes, this one I've just emailed with lives is Sydney, and he's lovely! Sent photos of the family graves at Murringo (near Young) so next time I'm down that way I'll pop into St Patrick's there and say hello to the ancestors.
