Yes Martine it is important to give your Mother and brother Michael a voice and honour their lives. I have a few Irish relatives my GGG Grandmothers were Jane Grant she was transported to Australia in 1836 she was born in Antrim and Mary J Keefe who I think was a Famine Orphan. I always say this is were I get my strength from. They were both very strong ladies who overcame a lot to go on and have families and look after their families in there new country Australia. Take Care Lynette
