Nuala with the Hula is not alone
Sometime ago I posted Belfast’s Nuala with the Hula playing hoopla. Nuala has now found a kindred spirit: a moving Lady Liberty.
Like Nuala, New York’s Statue of Liberty has a long standing connection with genealogy. The statue is an icon of the United States and was a welcoming sight to many Irish, Scottish, English, Welsh and other European immigrants arriving from abroad. She is located on Ellis Island and was the gateway for over 12 million immigrants to the United States.
The Ellis Island Foundation projects include a museum, The American Immigrant Wall of Honor and the American Family Immigration History Center. The Centre is a valuable resource when researching family history

On Thursday 7 April, a friend of mine, Mairead, died after a short illness. Born in Belfast she was the second eldest child of Hugh and Margaret Theresa Martin. She married her husband John McCann in 1976. They subsequently had four children, Jenny, Chris, Laura and Kate, and five grandchildren, Ciara, Eimear, Conor, Charlie, Aoife and Matthew. 
Met this girl by the river last night.
A number of people have asked me about my logo. It represents the Thanksgiving Statue which stands on the banks of the River Lagan in Belfast. It was constructed in 2007 and is almost 20 metres high.
