I know some stuff, but I still have a ton of questions I wish I'd thought to ask when my grandparents were alive. I'm pretty sure my last name is Irish. (My Dad's family has been here a long, long time. Like 20 generations +. It's my mom's that more recent.) We have an odd spelling. But, there's a town in Ireland that one of my Dad's cousins goes and takes pictures on benches and by signs, etc. with the town name that - well, is funny if you knew our last name. I totally want to do it. LOL. (The spelling is so uncommon, though, I don't want to post it on an open message board, though.)

That's cool that you've been to Europe. :) The furthest I've traveled is California. LOL. I guess, it's far, mileage-wise, but it's still the US. Well, I have been to Canada. *shrugs*

I can't wait to see Civil War! Have fun!!
