Charles Brown, whom I met earlier this year at the Arden Family History Library, is a prime example. I had suggested an avenue of research he might find worth investigating. Later that very day Charlie excitedly called to say that he had found the names of my great-grandparents on the passenger list for sailing ship, The Messenger, which left Galway City on 24 May 1848 bound for New York City. It was a marvelous discovery. Such camaraderie is typical.
Peanuts seems so apt.
