Just in case you wonder what is wrong with my name today......

Hi, cousin!

Thanks for a bit of relief from the OTHER task we both face on this bright Easter day--oops, I mean St. Patrick's day. And thanks for helping out. I've obviously authorized you to do anything I can do, and hopefully with your brains and that additional power, we can get things sorted out.

Too bad we can't BOTH do what most of the people on your Titanic project were able to do and say, "Well, I guess I won't have to worry about filing a tax return THIS year!". Best wishes on that project, too.

Great idea! I'm descended from Boyles and I can do this too!

Oii, isn't it Uí, with fada?

Liivi, I'm too many generations removed from the auld sod to know the difference. I read the Wiki link you posted and it said that if the matrilineal line was more important, it could be used. My Boyle ancestry runs through my mother's mother and her family.

Mother's father's family primarily English.
Father's father's family Austro-Hungarian.
Father's mother's family Serbian or Romanian.

Liivi Murumets it is Uí, for a married woman, with the fada

But I lost my fada and it is not even St Patricks day yet :)))
