I love your site and have been trying to trace my family history for years, My fathers family came from strokestown co roscommon and I am going over to see my aunt celebrate her 100th birthday in 2 weeks time,I am nearly 60 and for years was told the romantic version of the spanish armada,About 15 years ago I noticed more carlos headstones in strokestown cemetery and was informed they were not related to our side of the family.I have read quite a few books on the armada and many of the ships did have irish and spanish pilots which suggests trading had been going on for many years, By the way all my family were dark haired and dark skined.If you google clann carlos you will find a very interesting site, thanks
