3rd Request for Meet and Greet in Westport June 27-29

Hi, 

First, I would like to thank you for the wonderful services and information you provide, well done.  I have submitted two requests for a Meet and Greet via your Meet and Greet online request form on 1 Jan 2023 and again on 26 Feb 2023.  I have not gotten any response.  I am getting concerned that the volunteers will all be busy and not able to help me.  There appears to be a glitch with the form.  When I tried to fill in the Town/Village to meet the Volunteer in it would not allow me to put Westport in and I had to choose some random place from the dropdown menu. 

I will be visiting Ireland from USA and staying in Westport on 27-29 June 2023 and would like to request help to visit the Townland of Aillemore.   I would like to try to find my GG Grandparents, Austin Gibbons (B:Abt.1809/18-D:25 Mar 1807 Aillemore, Co.Mayo) and his wife Catherine (O'Malley) Gibbons's (B:Abt. 1831/39-D:22 Nov 1919, Aillemore, Co.Mayo) home site and grave site.  I am guessing they are buried in the Catholic cemetery attached to the Holy Family Church, Killeen which is very near the Townland of Aillemore where they lived.  I have searched the online records for that cemetery but have not found a listing for them.  Their daughter Margaret (Gibbons) O'Toole and her husband John also of Aillemore are buried at Killeen cemetery.  Would there be a volunteer available during the above time frame that I could work with?  I would also like to connect with a volunteer 4-5 July in County Armagh to visit the Townland of Gallrock where my ancestors Henry and Patrick J. O'Neil lived/were born.  Do I need to submit another Meet and Greet request?  Thank you so much.  Dee

Hi Dee

 

I've searched using your email address and can't locate the request, also I can't find a request for Westport either?  Can you complete the form again, so sorry about this, not sure why it's not coming through.

Hi IrelandXO Moderator DC,

I have submitted a third request as you suggested and received this reply "Thank You for your interest. A member of our team will be in touch over the next week".  I am not able to select Westport, Mayo because there is a problem with the dropdown for the location to meet a volunteer.  For this submission I selected Aghamore (Mayo) (5197) in order to be able to submit the form but I want to meet a volunteer in Westport, Mayo where I will be staying.  Thank you so very much for your help.  I hope this third request goes through and I will get a response from a volunteer.

Last Monday, March 27th I submitted my third request for a Mayo volunteer to contact me to arrange a meet and greet in Westport, Mayo.  I still have not been contacted by a volunteer.  Do I need to do something else?  Would you please have someone contact me?  

Thank you very much,

Dee
