Brick Wall Crumbling

After seventeen looooooong years of searching, a couple bricks are beginning to fall in my McNIECE research! I still have lots of work to do, and it's not a slam dunk yet, but at least I finally have a specific location in Ireland to begin. I am so excited. It's been a long dry spell with this group, and lots of dead-end paths taken, and dark back alleys ventured down, BUT it just makes this all the more exciting! Yarwooooeeee!!! And the best part is I now have a brand new part of Ireland to learn - Mayo and Sligo - as the rest of my family came from County Down. I LOVE TO LEARN, and then to teach.

Thanks for listening!!

Scottish Irish English Course

So U Think U'r Scottish course begins Oct. 18th. It is primarily geared to Scottish researchers, BUT so very many of our Scottish ancestors moved around within the British Isles (mine certainly did!) this course includes numerous hints, tips, and secrets including lots of relatively unknown (but awesome) web links for all BI countries.

The full description of this course is found on the right side of this blog under SEPTEMBER archive, then titled So U Think U'r Scottish. There is still time to register, but I keep the numbers low (even though it's an online course) so I have lots of time to interact and assist each student.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!! What a great time to do some interviews?
