Limerick / Re: Gleeson - Fedamore
« on: Sunday 30 November 08 17:59 GMT (UK) »
hi there ,
sorry i have taken so long to reply.
i have spoken with my father and got some information from him .
1. he knew of a Eugene Gleeson that lived in fedamore at the back of the hurling pitch in a small house. he farmed a few cattle .Eugene 's parents also lived there.
2. my fathers - father was stephen gleeson as was his father , not william as i said earlier. my grandfather stephen played handball and was all ireland winner.he also played alot of hurling for fedamore.
3.my father also tells me that one of his family has done an extensive family tree .the next time i am in limerick i will be able to check off names against those mentioned by others .
4.For the person that has not been to fedamore since 1953 there is a web site called "google earth", you pay $20 for the year and can zoom in on any place on earth.for example , if you type fedamore , satellites in space focus in on fedamore. by using the scroll up and down on you mouse you can further zoom in , so much so that you can pick out cars and cattle in field and roads.It is a fun way to see place from a birds eye view.Fedamore has not changed much over the years compared to other places.I hope this could be of some help to you.
best wish to all for now,
gerard
