No kidding! I've done some genealogical research and there are numerous Sullivans - one of the more popular Irish surnames.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

K the younger daughter and Nattie Shea in the white cap, overlooking the Ohio River.

[WVNan]

Oops, wrong picture. That is the family watching the muralist painting one of the murals on the flood wall.

[JustAmy]

I have a very small amount of info on the Sullivans.

I have lots of research info on a couple of other lines. I’m not sure whether my Sullivans came from Ireland or England or ..... is there a difference?

[WVNan]

I hope this is K & Nattie Shea overlooking the Ohio. Nattie is going incognito or Hollywood, I'm not sure which.

[ConorMacNessa]

Most of them came from Ireland - don't know anything about Sullivans from England - I assume they migrated from Ireland looking for jobs.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

Thanks for the ping (#230), Billie. Great August thread. Thanks to all posters. BUMP for a great place, Amy’s Place!

Nattie Shea looks over the murals on the flood wall.

The Carry_Okie family at the monument to the Frontier Militiamen.

Nan, I remember Carry Okie and his daughter Nattie Shea - we profiled her at the Finest on September 16, 2002. He wrote it and I put it together - the pics were on his serverand no longer open, but I found the link to the thread:

All She Wanted Was To Be A Real FReeper

I found this little logo I made years ago, too! (well, it's actually two gifs on a black background and placed on a black table so it wouldn't have a white space between the two words) LOL

Thank you for the lovely pictures of a wonderful family, Nan! If you post more, I will see them in the morning! Nite-nite now....(((Hugs)))

[WVNan]

You are right Billie. I had forgotten about that. Here is a picture of the dance in my living room. I wanted to post this one because of the look of pure joy on my friend's face. She is the one with the aqua sweater and the huge smile.

I told Carry that I would not post close ups of them, but this one does not show much of their faces.

I can't tell how wonderful this family is. We had so much pleasure from their visit. I'm missing them so much now.

[WVNan]

Goodnight jaycee. Rest well.

[WVNan]

Maybe Carry still has that thread on his computer. I would love to see that again.

[Billie]

Thanks, Luv. I appreciate the information about Windows 7. I also wish Microsoft would at least let us have the option to keep a system we like for a while before they declare it obsolete. :(

[Billie]

Meg AND Dave, I’m glad to hear that you’ve both gotten some relief for your back (and neck) pain. Hope it continues to get better, and your followup visit shows the fusion is doing it’s job, Dave!

[Billie]

PC Matic is found at PC Pitstop.

Thanks! I'll look there. Theirs is the Registry Cleaner/Optimizer that I renew every year. I run it pretty often but have not heard of PC Matic.

[Billie]

What a cute little turtle!

I'm happy that your son got your pc back up to speed. I thought my spyware software checked for malware but will look into that, too, especially after reading Dave's post and now yours, too.

I don't open Power Point presentations either.

[Billie]

Maybe Carry still has that thread on his computer. I would love to see that again.

The link to the thread is there in my post above, but the pictures are just red x's. Glad you got back here before I said goodnight! I enjoyed reading and seeing the photos of NattieShea NOW - she was only 9 or 10 when we posted her profile!

I must go. Goodnight, ALL!

[Diver Dave]

G’night Billie.

Great report, Nan. Your writing skills makes me feel like I was right there with y’all.
