That is awesome. I am trying to track down his genealogy as well as his history because it is quite possible that we are related and it would help me trace my ancestors. My ggm was Eliza Crehan of County Kerry..which is new info to us..we worked it out she was from Clonmel but she was not. Anyway, she ended up in Clermont Iowa, and although it was said she never saw her relatives again, a Bart and Hanora Crehan or Crean or Creehan (there are dozens of ways to spell this and it changes to Crogan, McCrogan etc.) appear from County kerry. There are many Creans in Annascul, and some from Blasket Islaands...so if anyone happens upon family trees etc. please let me know..we know that some Doolins/Dulins from Anascoul ended up in Clermont, and people tended to travel in clusters.

Anyway, a great man and I am dying to see the book and the songbook. mg
