I, along with my family, will be arriving in Dublin from the USA on June 24, 2018. We will be renting a car and driving to and staying in Kilkee for several days, exact itinerary not yet established. I would love to meet with an Ireland XO representative to receive any assistance which might be available in searching for any information regarding my Great Grandfather, Malachy Collins, born County Clare abt. 1846. Malachy's parents were Patrick Collins and Catherine Haugh. Despite several years of searching, and a trip to Kilkee in 2013, I have been unable to locate any records in Ireland for Malachy or his parents. I have concentrated my search in Kilfearagh Parish, simply because the surnames Collins and Haugh seem to be concentrated in that area. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Dear Kim:
Many thanks for your post to the Ireland Reaching Out message board and welcome to the site.
We are delighted to hear that you are coming to Ireland and we have a very active group of Ireland XO volunteers in the West Clare area who will be certain to assist you.
I am copying them with this post and you should hear from them in a short while.
In the meantime, if there is anything further that we can assist, please let us know.
Kind regards,
Jane.
