You'll have to induge me on this one. A few years ago we had the opportunity to visit the village where my Grandma was born. Now..I'm off taking pictures and my wife gets into a conversation with this man who was painting the trim on his windows...He says..."what might be bringin' you here to portmagee?" My wife tells him..."My husband's grandmother was born in that house there." He answers..."Oh...that would be the Kellys?" (My GM was Nora Kelly.) He took us on a mini tour of the town and showed me the place where my grandma bought her candy when she was a child...this was in 1911 or so...this is just village lore. He later sent some material from a census of Portmagee in 1903...I'm still amazed that most of my family back then couldn't read. Also learned that my great grandpa died in a fishing accident many many years ago...I'm forever indebted to this man and hope he's still doing well.
