I read your posts with Prentiss from 2001 . I'm a Taaffe from Ireland with mons. Thomas Taaffe who Taaffe's Place & Taaffe's Playground in Brooklyn is named after, in our tree. Fr Thomas brother William born in Ireland,we believe fought in the American Civil War. I did try to email you on yahoo but it did not send. Maybe we are on different pass but you never know. Regards Christopher Taaffe
