Don,

My great-grandmother, Catherine Groves came from Ireland.
I know she was protestant, partly because she married
twice in Ontario, in protestant churches.

I hope that will be a little help to me when I try to find her
in Ireland.

There is an Irish workshop in Seattle WA 8 March 2009.
http://irishclub.org/GenealogyProgram.htm

If your are anywhere's near there, you might learn how
to search for your lady.
.
I hope to attend that workshop but don't think I can, sob, sob.

Good luck.

Maggie
