This web page will introduce you to me, my family and my interests.  It will include some facts about my background, my ethnic heritage and personal interests.  Somewhat late in life I began to investigate my Irish background and ancestors and began an interest in genealogy.  I will share some of this and introduce the viewer to the fascinating subject of genealogy.  For a few years now I have been gathering jokes off the internet.  I plan to present some of them for your enjoyment, as well.

     An Acknowledgement.  Normally, being a strong believer in example, I am uncomfortable around people who are overly preachy about their religious beliefs, but I would be remiss if I did not  thank our Creator for His grace and inspiration in enabling me to put together these pages.  Without extensive access to His Heavenly Thesaurus it would not have been possible.  Microsoft's FrontPage 2000 software also helped, but nowhere near as much.
