About Me

Dara: Welcome to my blog! I'm from Co. Dublin, Ireland and now live in Co. Kildare with my husband, our two dogs, our three horses and their companion ponies. I love doing family history research and this blog is an assortment of my ancestors' stories. Did I get something wrong? Do you have anything to add? Are we related? Contact me at blackraven.genealogy [at] gmail [dot] com. British English (or perhaps Irish English) spelling used.
