My name is Peter Hartog. I did find substantive information about my ancestors (O Leary) from Piltown, Fiddown and Turkstown in County Kilkenny. I did place information about the O leary's on the message board. With relatives I would like to visit this area, see the churches, graveyards, the places where the ancestors lived and worked.
Could I get assistance/ advice from a volunteer of Ireland XO about preparing such a visit. Any information would be welcome. We are considering such as visit in june/ july/ august 2020.
Kind regards,
Peter Hartog

Dear Jane, happy new year, The plans for a visit have been delayed by the present limitations. Maybe it would be possible this summer or fall? So far I did not hear from a a local volunteer. That would be very nice if this still would happen.
Stay healthy!
kind regards,
