A Book, a Beer, a Church and a Horse

A reunion is all about connections.  First cousins; long lost cousins (who said they were lost?) Maureen had a chance to connect with first cousin Paul Ingoldsby from Toronto in the Irish countryside.  Rolling hills and sleek stallions that are the crème de la crème of the horse world were encountered.
 

On tour today Jim Colleen and Vince took a trip to Trinity College to see the famous Book of Kells, and the fantastic Trinity College Library.

The only Irish record of our ancestors in Ireland is a Marriage record of Bryan Bernard Ingoldsby and Jane Keegan.  Their marriage took place in St Mary's Pro Cathedral on July 7th, 1826. The church was beautiful.

The prerequisite tour of the Guinness Store House occurred.  Very well done Arthur Guinness!

We met back at the hotel and took a stroll on the pier.

A great Day!
