Not just the Boston Irish, but those of us in CA, too
I did the grand tour with my dad and sister a few years ago, visiting genealogical centers in Sligo and Clare, and having them do research. My dad and sister have since been back and visited gravesites of relatives that lived there 100 years ago. They prepared a very nicely bound report with all sorts of details on the family tree.
