Hi gang. Xtina has been busy digging into the Irish citizenship question. It turns out she is one automatically, because her 'Da' was born there. (Trivia: His father -- Xtina's grandfather -- was known as 'the meanest man in Ennis.' Tells you all you need to know about her father.)
It also turns out that all of us, or at least my generation of cousins, qualify for Irish citizenship because of Nanny and Pop. You all knew that, right? (More info on the citizenship question can be found here.) But you have to apply, using a mess of documentation -- birth, marriage, death certificates and passport for Nanny or Pop, your parent, and yourself -- though the death cert is not needed in that case ;)
So, I have questions: In what county were Nanny and/or Pop born? Where were they married? Has anyone tried to obtain a copy of their death certificates?
Any info you can share would be grand.

I am sending a letter to Aunt Margaret to ask her the questions we all have. The dates of birth, death and marriage are not clear. I also don't know if Nanny and Pop married in US or Ireland. Anything I learn I will pass on.
Love,
Maureen
