Proposed Name Change
It has been proposed that our Division change
it's name from the current
Monsignor Donal O'Callaghan, to Monsignor Lawrence Giblin.
The idea for the change is to honor a local resident who has devoted his life to
our faith.
The topic is open for discussion, and a final vote will take place by the end of the year as to which name we will be known by.
People have asked, "Who was Monsignor
O'Callaghan?"
The answer has always been found on the lower portion of this web site since it
was created.
Please read if you intend to vote:
Who
was Monsignor Donal O'Callaghan?
It should also be mentioned that Msgr.
O'Callaghan's family has been in contact with us and,
of course, are very proud of the fact that an A.O.H. division has honored his
memory.
We invite a similar biography be written by
those who have knowledge of the life of Monsignor Giblin.
We will publish it here as well so everyone can learn of his great attributes
and contributions.
We look forward to hearing more on the subject.
(Please decide on one representative to submit the biography and email it to irelandunitedandfree@excite.com)

Interesting New Concept:
| Irish
Site Seeks Photos of Every Square Km Posted by Diane Want to see your Irish ancestral homeland? Contributing editor SharonDeBartolo Carmack alerted us to a free community photo project sponsored by Ireland’s Ordnance Survey. The Geograph Project aims to collect geographically representative photographs and information for every square kilometer of Ireland. The project divides the country into a grid. Contributors register for free, then use a map or enter a place name to identify the square of the grid associated with their photo, and finally, upload the photo with a description and other information. (More on submissions here.) You also can browse images from the site’s map. “I was surprised to see someone had uploaded a photo of the National School in the small townland of Ardvarney, where my ancestors lived,” Carmack said. |
