They were even kind enough to mail me information on Lough Dearg. It is certainly a place that I will have to visit someday.Cherie Cayemberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00748187506552981093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134611249290839644.post-92208709542401252412012-10-14T13:17:54.021-06:002012-10-14T13:17:54.021-06:00Hi, there;

What a wonderful window into your family history! <br /><br />I'd be interested to learn more about the provenance of this beautiful Rosary - who William passed it down to, and on and on, before it landed in your care. I'm so happy to hear that you all treasure it.<br /><br />LisaLisa / Smallest Leafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16811771280872197611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134611249290839644.post-56193334224793443112010-11-04T13:11:25.921-06:002010-11-04T13:11:25.921-06:00A treasure indeed, and very wise to keep it in a f...A treasure indeed, and very wise to keep it in a fire safe. Perhaps you could have it re-strung by a jeweller (like pearls) so you know it won't break.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04360272405643318813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134611249290839644.post-27235934971854732062010-11-04T10:38:45.311-06:002010-11-04T10:38:45.311-06:00A gorgeous rosary and truly a treasure in many way...A gorgeous rosary and truly a treasure in many ways!TCasteelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01261694755025450452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134611249290839644.post-35439782763483726852010-11-04T07:05:02.068-06:002010-11-04T07:05:02.068-06:00Absolutely beautiful, a magnificent Irish treasure...Absolutely beautiful, a magnificent Irish treasure.
