Again, I am interrupting this timeline but wanted to let you know that, although I have not been posting in it, I am thoroughly enjoying the research that you all are doing. I particularly liked the Skelligs, Low Head, and Portland Bill links. Fastnet is mentioned somewhere; that is such a beautiful lighthouse. Margret, I hope you are successful finding more records; I loved reading about the granddad being reprimanded for being asleep on the job. I'm sure he didn't enjoy it but it does personalize the history.
