What's new at Small-leaved Shamrock

I've added some new features to the sidebar of Small-leaved Shamrock. If you are a regular reader and don't scroll down the page every time past the most recent post, you might want to take some time to do so now.

If you don't want to miss a new post, don't miss:

• The opportunity to subscribe to new posts via email


• The opportunity to subscribe to new posts in a reader (RSS feed is the term, if you want to get fancy)


• The opportunity to bookmark this site (Heard of del.icio.us?)

Also take a look at:

• The new surname list, Our Schuylkill County Surnames (thanks to the reader who suggested this - hopefully it will help new readers to quickly determine whether or not they have a connection to our family)

If you want to learn more:

• Check out the Related Reading sidebar, with links to books of interest about Ireland, Pennsylvania, the railroads, the coal mines, genealogy, etc.

I'm glad to see that many of you are enjoying Small-leaved Shamrock. If you are a regular reader and you are enjoying this blog, please drop me an email if you get a chance. I'd like to hear your comments and suggestions.

In the meantime, here's an Irish blessing for you...

May you have warm words on a cold evening, a full moon on a dark night, and the road downhill all the way to your door.
