Hello From Ireland

The strand at Tralee Bay.

         Shelly and I spent two weeks in Eire.  

          In Dingle, I had the honor to sit in on a session. 


 
My second grandfather on Dad's side was born in Thomastown, County Kilkenny.
These Cody headstones are in the old cemetery at The Church of the Assumption. 


The River Nore, Thomastown, County Kilkenny. 
The Church of the Assumption is in the center on the hill.

   St. Brigid's Church, Ballycallan, County Kilkenny. 
          My Great Grandmother, Bridget Cuddihy was christened here in 1873.
     Mom's side of the family is also from Kilkenny.
