A Little bit of Magic

 Early this week I had a Facebook Friend request.  After checking it out and noting the names Somers and Geraghty I quickly accepted.  Shortly there after I got a message from Jacqueline thanking me for accepting the request and that she had seen my blog post on the Somers and Wisconsin and that she was living in Roscommon and would like to connect.

Well here I was in Dublin, planning my trip to Athlone on Thursday....so I boldly said I'd love to connect how about in person.

How did I get so lucky!!!!

Tromaun Cemetery

Not only did I meet a true family and locality historian but I got a wondrous tour of the family townlands and cemeteries.

So never tell me there are no fairies.  It had to be some kind of magic that that request came when it did.  A week later and I would have missed out on the opportunity of a lifetime!
