So Presidential - not!

We are looking at a painting of St Liphardus - a 6th-century lawyer, hermit and abbot in Meung-sur-Loire near Orléans, France. He is wearing bishops clothing including a surplus and mitre and is holding a crook. On a lead is a small knee high green and blue dragon.

We’re very sorry sir but you cannot bring your emotional support dragon in here.

I have many cousins who entered the convent or the priesthood. I've found convent archivists unfailingly generous and delighted that someone is researching one of their members. I've often been gifted in-depth service files of the cousin-sisters.

A #FamilyHistory story about the 1926 census.

Yes, IrishGenealogy was quite difficult today! I decided to focus my work on this side today!

What fun! I've stayed off the site today. I knew it would be mobbed, and my close family had already left decades before. The few remaining were in County Tyrone, so not in this release.
I'll do a little digging when things calm down.

Before I had sinus surgery, ~10 years ago, I often had days when my head felt too heavy to hold up.
