FAO: Bit Devine

Hi Bit,

Mike Quane is a friend of mine, and suggested that I sign up to be a New Wild Goose! Mike was one of the first people to be aware of my new book, Ireland in Word and Image. It's a 300 page coffee table book of my photos from the month that I spent shooting in Ireland this year and last. The photos are paired with Irish literature excerpts appropriate for each image.

I'm a photographer for Getty Images and was asked to do this book by the publishers of Welcome Books, the art book house of Random House. I've got some other professional interests in journalism and medicine. I'm delighted to be here among some people to remind me of the wonderful friends that I made in Ireland.

thank you.  good to connect.

Thanks Bit, the midlands has been left out of so much over the years ..

Bit, do you know Aurora and/or Newmarket? I was raised in Aurora and married and lived in Newmarket for 24 years : ) And I know Richmond Hill well.

G'day Bit Devine,

Delighted to accept you as a friend. Sent this as well as clicking yes on your request just in case. Am enjoying your lively comments on WG site.

Cheers, James (Against The Wind).

Greetings

Bit;

Thank you for befriending me. I'm working on my Keough/Keogh story and will share it as I find it.

Robert Keough, Long Lake, NY (That's the Adirondacks)

THANKS--

Hi, nice to 'meet' you...Bit...I'm too curious about your name NOT to ask!  Nickname, short for something else?  Thanks!  Cindy

Bit, what a darling childhood story!  Thank you for sharing it with me - that was so sweet!

Thanks for the welcome.  Much of my writing currently is in the sciences.  I am particularly interested in the genetics of early Irish races. Hope to bring more information out to the modern Irish on this.

Looks like I'm rotated!!

Thanks Bit!

Hello Bit. Have been researching my Irish family with a very English name,  I have a grandfather George (1761) when he is witness at 2 weddings in Dunsany, Co.Meath but lost him after that. George and William run through the family until the present time. Have loads of info. about them all but this George is so elusive. Maybe he does not want to be found! Sorry, the English name is Webb.
