Thanks Falachaidh!! I consider myself the caretaker of Ireland. Yes! Scotland and Ireland have alot in common. I think it is similar to relatives who don't claim some of their kin. I love it all!!
I found some Irish Blessings and thought I post them here:
May God grant you always: A sunbeam to warm you, A moonbeam to charm you, A sheltering Angel so nothing can harm you, Laughter to cheer you Faithful friends near you And whenever you pray Heaven to hear you
May the road rise up to meet you May the wind alwas be at your back May the sun shine warm upon your face the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again May God hold you in the palm of his hand
May you bee poor in misfortune Rich in blessings Slow to make enemies Quick to make friends But rich or poor, Quick or slow May you know nothing but happiness From this day on

Yes, a lovely idea! I still don't know many of you or how exactly all this works as I am new in here...Hugs to Aon and all friends in here!! xxxxxxxxxxxx MartinBC
Oh my love how far you have fallen, My eyes weep for the children long fallen away, The precious souls of my Life surrendered to the grave Oh how painfully true the children the children of my love. They say how could I but they understand not For I must, for there own sake I must, Here a little there a little for in-between are the lost Never to be found for your sake.
With no light to find I must only bind for the sake of mine!
I feel for those who fail to submit they go on in their way as if forever, they see the light for darkness and the darkness for light they wonder to the grave of no hope, Were no light shines and no life finds.
Thought my father rebukes in the name of love I must destroy in the name of love For the harvest is ripe yet it rots before me!
In Jesus Name, Amen.

Jer 31:18-19 Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the LORD my God. Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.
When I started looking into my family's history, I found many skeletons in the closet. I didn't let that stop me though. I figured they were as human as we are now. They just tried to hide their sins more.
I would love to trace my family's history but I know I'd run into a lot of dead ends. My parents don't know very much and all my grandparents are dead . In fact, the only things I know about my family history are that my great-Grandpa Maxwell was adopted, my great-Grandma Maxwell's maiden name was McLoughlin, and my family name was originally Fangmann. Oh well.

May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
MDF, Do you have any great aunts or uncles living? If you do maybe they can give you some info. Alot of older folks don't like to talk about their kith and kin. When my husband was researching his family tree, he went to his mother to get info on her relatives,she politely told him, "it wasn't any of his business." That didn't stop him though, he just found another source of information to let the skeletons out.
I'm glad that your interested in your family history, not many young gals and guys are. I know right now, my three daughters could care less about their great and their great greats! Don't give up, keep looking and find a relative who likes to talk!
HEllo I hope to learn why the sound of pipes playing Amazing Grace brings tears from my eyes, a knot in my throat, an joy to my soul like no other music. peace all
Slamedbear, I find the very same thing happening to me when I hear the pipes aplaying that wonderful song Amazing Grace. If I ever have the privilege to visit the land of my dreams (Ireland), I'm sure the answer is awaitin me! Have a good day!

Maggie, the answer to your question, sadly, is no . By the time my parents had me and my sister, most couples their age had school-age children, so we never got to meet very many of my folks' aunts & uncles. I only met two great aunts and one great uncle before they died.
Ba maith liom mise a chur in aíthne dhaoibh. Is Rüdiger an t-ainm atá orm agus tá mé i mo chonaí i mbaile Velbert i Ghearmáin. Is baile beag i nGearmáin Velbert. Biónn mé ag cluich mo giotár agus mo bodhrán go minic. Is maith liom ceol le Runrig, Capercaillie, Tannahill Weavers, agus Clannad agus cúpla ceoltóir eile. Agus thathníonn an clár-cinn anseo go mór liom.
Slán agus go n-éirí an t-ádh libh,

I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Rüdiger and I live in the town of Velbert in Germany. Velbert is a small town in Germany. I often play guitar and bodhrán. I like the music of Runrig, Capercaillie, Tannahill Weavers, and Clannad, and some other musicians. And I like the website here very much.
Bye, and may the luck rise with you,
Rüdiger
