Hi Noel, 

It is absolutely wonderful that you were able to share Catherine's info with family members on the island! Thank you so much for all of this, as well as the information of the grave of Mark and Mary Hoctor. 

What else did you see and do during your 3 weeks here on the Emerald Isle? We'd love to hear more about your adventures. :)

Hi Noel, 
Thank you very much for the information and picture. I did go to the cemetery and found Mary Hoctor's grave and noticed right in back of her gravesite was her sisters, Anne Carey's. I also found their sister Catherine Bligh's gravesite in a different section of the cemetery near my great grandmother's grave. I've still yet to find their brother's grave (my 2x great grandfather, Patrick), so will be going back soon. On a different note, where are you from? I'm curious if you had to travel far to get to Biddeford, Maine. If you ever make it back it would be nice to meet you.
Best,
Cathy

Hi Catherine,

It's wonderful to see that you managed to visit the graveyard suggested by Noel and find so many of your relatives graves!

We hope that you and Noel find some more connections and maybe even meet up to compare notes.

Please feel free to keep us up to date with your family history journey especially if you come across your Island of Ireland connections too.
