assistant: Hi Marianne!
Maybe your sysop has not gotten confirmation that the echo has been
added from his source and he is not getting it.  I'd suggest to leave a
message to him/her to check this out.
Since you are looking for people Irish, how about some names?
Since this is the International Genealogy Echo, all names are
accepted here.
My Irish roots are RYAN and LOCKWOOD.  Problem is, I have very little
information on this line, as they came from Ireland to Canada and then
to Michigan.

Further to my message of yesterday...along with your message in the Gen
