Background
Máire Kennedy has been kind enough to indulge me giving two talks on my family (mother's side) in the last few years. In the interest of balance I thought it only right to have a go at the father's side of the family and Máire (bless her trust and patience) was willing to give me another go.
So here goes with the Da's side.

This version is in Powerpoint, and this in PDF.

Cameos
I have done a number of cameos. The original idea was to use these to draw disparate information together under a single heading. Some are very out of date at this stage and I will get round to updating them in due course.
