Dear smjh:
Thank you for your post to the Ireland Reaching Out message board.
Would you consider creating a profile for any one of the ancestors that you have written about in the XO Chronicles?
The information would be of great interest to others and particularly those who may also be researching not only the same family but also the families that emigrated to the Peel County area in Canada. The link for creating a profile is listed below:

If you have any further questions, please let me know at: jhalloranryan@irelandxo.com.
Many thanks for your interest in Ireland Reaching Out and be sure to check the XO Chronicles for the Magheross parish and County Monaghan area.
Kind regards,
Jane.
