4. Thank you so very much for a wonderful site. In the last twenty four hours I have been
notified of this site by my lovely friend who is on holiday from Perth in Ireland and she has
visited Barony graveyard and found so many of her relations in there. I have also found
some of my late Mum's family on her fathers side who I knew were in there but when I was
back in Lisdowney six years ago it was impossible to get into the graveyard as it was so
grown over. I can't wait to visit again in May 2012 and once again visit Lisdowney. Thank
you all so very much.
Thanks for sending that through to me, my Mam was delighted to see it!
Its great to get that feedback, especially so for all of you guys who put in the hard work.
I'm happy too for Mam and John after all the hours they've put in during the last month.
Talk to you soon,
Ronan
