Two years and I smile when I see something she would have liked while shopping and at the same moment my heart breaks and feels shredded. It’s so bittersweet to remember and in the same moment, feel the loss fresh and raw again.

If you can get over the wearing of the green - that part was sooo over done.

That’s so annoying. It was for me as well up until I tried it again today just randomly and it worked. I couldn’t use it at all for the first two months when it began earlier this year. I have no idea why that is or if they are doing a slow global roll out.

Not certain about that - sorry.

I have no idea Daniel if contacting the President of Ireland to intervene with the current powers that be would be helpful at all using any power his office and letterhead might offer on your behalf 🤷🏻‍♀️

It seems to be geo blocked to searching from international countries - unfortunately it may only be available for searching when searching in Ireland 🤷🏻‍♀️ ☹️
Perhaps rolling it out locally first, or copyright? I found it but green button leads to message of being geo blocked.

Worth a try - I will give that a go.

I still miss being able to search by dropdown decade within 1800’s for example 🙄🫤

She found her using her original name and the names of her parents that I provided. From that I got information from the day she entered the order right up to her death including photos and the jobs she held - a teacher and a nurse. Her headstone was erected by two of her brothers.

I agree with writing to the order if you know it. All I had was that my grandfather’s sister went to New Zealand after becoming a nun. Someone thought it might be the sisters of mercy order. I looked them up online and found an email address of their archivist who was able to find her.

Keep fighting the good fight Daniel - you are their voice and your passion and what you do matters. If not made known and laid bare history tends to repeat itself.
