I was very happy (and suprised) to find Jean Rice's article of 11/22, regarding Chef Gabriel McSharry of Manorhamilton! My grandmother was a McSharry from Manorhamilton, and since
I had been unable to locate any of her family remaining, I assumed that they had all moved on. Theres no guarantee that we're related, but now I can try to contact him and see what develops.

Thanks for a great lead!
