We recently received the following e-mail from South Australia:
“I am researching my great grandfather and his family, John Russell who was born 28/02/1870 in Caherline/Caherconlish. His father was James Russell, mother Margaret Redmond. I was hoping you could help me. I am looking for a history/genealogy group for the area. Thanking you for your time, Christine Russell”

If anyone can provide the information it would be greatly appreciated and the lady’s e-mail address can be obtained by contacting the Millennium Centre. It is nice to know that our website is being viewed in South Australia
