I guess it was Jacqeline who wrote to me and whose address I have misplaced. I have not ever met the family but I did have plans to go and visit before Nora sadly passed away. I go over to Castletownbere a few times a year normally but have not been so far this year. I am going over for two weeks at the end of June. I always go to visit Margaret D**** and the family there. I always used to visit when Michael was alive so still do as I really like going to see them. I also try and visit Mary P****. It is a long time since I saw all of you, early 1993 I think, first time was in November 1991 on my way out to visit my uncle in New Zealand. I hope that you and the family are all well. Thank you for replying and to John for passing it on. I have mailed him a couple of photos of myself and girls and a couple of your mum's relations in Australia. They are descendents of your mum's uncle Tom O'Dwyer later known as Francis Burke. Best wishes. Marie. PS My first name is Julia but I have never been called it.It was after my Dad's mum who died in chidbirth when he was only 2 years old. It was traditional to call the first girl after her Father's mother. (Email from Marie S**** sent to Mary D***** March 30, 2007 and forwarded to me).
