Hi to all. My name is Billye Jennings Logan. I have become interested in Gaelic Irish because of ancestors on my father's side of the family (my great grandfather) came to the US from Ireland. I have been doing research on my family history. I have some old letters that I acquired after the death of my mother. They are exchanges between him and his family back in Ireland after his families arrival. Very fascinating!!! I will be needing help with some translation in the future as some of the language in these letters is a bit hard for me to understand. I'm in the process of moving and will have to locate the box containing them. I will be deeply grateful for any and all help!!! Thanks to you all.

Welcome to the forum, Billye. Sounds like some interesting history coming our way, then. Looking forward to it.
