I had a marvelous and extremely fruitful two days researching at the Mellon Centre for Migration Studies --- and it wouldn't have been successful without the help of Christine and Sarah, librarians and archivists (hope those are the right words!) at the Centre. They went out of their way to help me find books, articles, newspapers and more that matched my queries. I can't thank them enough for their help! The Centre is fantastic. So grateful.

Our Illinois family greatly enjoyed the pictorial displays and the peaceful setting recreated around the actual house and homestead of Thomas Mellon. Of even greater interest was the list of Irish immigrants who were influential in every aspect of American life from the Revolutionary War to the present day. Several US Presidents have been direct descendants of Irish immigrants.

They have done this really well and whilst one does not like to dwell on senseless destruction the story of the Omagh bomb should not be forgotten. It is a timely reminder that when politics and the middle ground fail chaos from the margins can inflict obscene hurt and gross pain on innocent human beings.
