Hi Peter,

Thanks for the tip about St. Paul's Bookshop - I'll reach out via their Facebook page. But moreover, thanks for your candor. It may not prove helpful after all.

Essentially what I'm after are two things: 1) information regarding the Andreas McTeare families around Ballakinnag pre 1615 or so, and 2) insight into daily life, customs, beliefs, etc. in Andreas in particular.

I have read as much about Andreas as I can get my hands on, but this sounds like transcriptions based upon your friend Donald Dugdale's work. Correct?

Thanks again, and any suggestions for the history/culture of Andreas between 1500 - 1800 would be appreciated! (PS, I did read about John Teare, "Fairy Doctor" - fascinating!)

Best,
Lyle
