Sorry if I seem preoccupied this evening - I've been on Ancestry - got a couple of pretty good hits - I think I just snagged a 3 greats grandfather on my Mother's side - he would have been born about 1810 in Ireland and emigrated to the U.S. immediately after An Gorta Mor.

"Dia shábháil ar fad anseo!"
This is the Arabic character "nun" – the first letter of the word "Nazarene." I post it as my avatar in solidarity with people of all faiths suffering persecution at the hands of Islam. Many of them are members of the oldest of our Christian Communities, dating from the days of the Apostles. They endure cruel, merciless and unrelenting persecution. They are Orthodox and Catholic, Protestant and Evangelical, Coptic, Pentecostal, and Baptist. To the persecutors they, and we, are all "Nazarenes."
