Harty's From Ring

Visitors from the USA. Nick Harty and I corresponded some time back. It was his intention to come to the ‘Old Country’ where his ancestor came from, where else but Ring. Nick and family arrived at the Museum yesterday. It was good to finally meet him in the flesh. This is not the entire group, who rented a mini bus. I know that twenty sat to dinner at a certain house in Ring last evening. Front, left to right, Marge Harty (Nick’s wife) Daughter s, Kristine and Jennifer. Back, Mé Féin.Sibéal & Seán Bhreatnach (An Rinn) Ken & Kyle, Nicks sons and Nick Harty. (Eddie)
