News of our next A Few #ForgottenWOmen Friday. Volunteers needed, experience with #IrishGenalogy would be wonderful but not essential #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #WomensHistory https://afewforgottenwomen.wixsite.com/affw/blog/categories/a-few-forgotten-women-friday

Motivated by being on the Irish server, I dug back into my husband's #irishdiaspora, more interesting than mine as his was a number of families that formed a trunk-farming community in Mobile, Alabama, so there are several generations of marriages within the diaspora. This time I was surprised to finally dig up a family origin more focused than #countymayo. An obit gave Baletta. I realised this was Ballina, but an Americanized variation on the Irish spelling Béal an Átha. #irishgenalogy
