Do you know and Reid's in Ireland?

Sorry, Nana, no I don't - have you tried joining a geneology site in the US to try and track down the full name from birth/marriage/death certs?
Once you have the name and possibly home town then you could perhaps do an online search. I think the problem for lots of Americans with Irish ancestry is that so many Irish left here during the famine times (from 1830's onwards), and I think that a lot of them changed their names when they arrived in the US. Plus, at that time, the only records of them would be in the parishes they lived in, and I don't think they are complete these days. I wish you well with your search though.

You have a great guild in Pensacola. In fact they just had their bi-annual show. Definitely get in touch with them. I think it's just called Pensacola Quilt Guild. And another great thing about joining a guild is that many fabric stores give you a discount. And you have a great fabric store there on New Warrington Road, A&E Pharmacy. I know, it sounds like a drug store and it is but is also is a great fabric store...check it out!!!

There is also a wonderful quilt shop in Pace, Fl. Went to it after the quilt show in Pensacola this spring. If one wants to, the drive to Crestview to Margie's Sew Much Fun is a great trip and great quilt shop.
