Hi Karen,
That sounds like a great trip to Ireland. Catch St Patrick's Cathedral
if you can in Dublin. It's on the New Age circuit -- fantastic for
a number of reasons.

AH! Mine were in Northern Westmoreland Co.

I avoided going to college there. My parents wanted me to go there
but I preferred a public school. Great place but a little too
strict for me.
Check out the Belfast Newsletter index (and it itself) in the
Linen Hall Library. Might find info on your United Irishmen.
Best of luck,
Linda Merle
