YOUR HOST A  little information about myself and how to contact me, My name is John Leahy I was Born 1946 in London. Most of the information on this site was obtained from talking to living relatives and from researching public records. In the course of doing this research, I've discovered that I have many more relatives than I ever thought possible!    PRIVACY / SECURITY The only information on this site for living relatives, is their Name and  their Relationship with others in the tree. For their protection the word "Private" is inserted instead of dates or other information	OUR FAMILY TREE Some families know a great deal about their roots; others know very little. This site is an attempt to record what I've learned about our family history. In these modern times, families tend to be scattered all over the country, and in our case all over the world. One of the goals of this web site is to help our family stay connected even though we live far apart. This is a work in progress, so please contact me if you have any information that might help me round out the picture. Or any Errors or omissions you spot while browsing the site I think the poem at the bottom of the page says it all Site Last Updated   26/10/2009

STRANGERS IN THE BOX Come, look with me inside this drawer, in this box I've often seen, At the pictures, black and white, Faces proud, still, and serene. I wish I knew the people, These strangers in the box, Their names and all their memories, Are lost among my socks. I wonder what their lives were like, How did they spend their days? What about their special times? I'll never know their ways.	If only someone had taken time,  To tell, who, what, where, and when,  These faces of my heritage,  Would come to life again.  Could this become the fate,  Of the pictures we take today?  The faces and the memories,  Someday to be passed away?  Take time to save your stories,  Seize the opportunity when it knocks,  Or someday you and yours,  Could be strangers in the box.  Author Unknown
