Tony - Tried to answer but said it did not go thru. I think the same as you. I do know that VEales descended from Humphrey De Vielles 900 AD and his descendents were De Vielles de Beaumonts. It is through them I think related to Irish. I Was in Ireland 2001 and loved it. Daughter Jodie going there for the 14th time since 2000. Her ggg grandparents on fathers side were James Waters and Mary Lamb from Ramsgrange Wexford Ireland. She is a teacher and visits school there.
