Some of you may have seen the tongue in cheek thread I put on General the other day about finding a new contact on OH's maternal stagnant Irish line just after my niece had brought me a leprechaun keyring from Ireland.
Well - we are now the proud possessors of photos of his great grandparents, born 1821 and 1829!! I am so thrilled that I'm almost unable to sit still long enough to type this!! (And I have to say, his gt grandfather does look rather like a leprechaun lol)
But is anyone else like me? I'm now feeling really guilty because I was the one who initiated the contact after finding an old post on a genealogy forum, and this chap clearly knows way more about the family than I do. My paltry offering will be only what happened to OH's grandfather after he emigrated to England.
