    Digging up some family history

    I was able to hunt a feild site where my great-great grand parents home steaded a farm when they came from Ireland in the 1880's. The farm was passed down to my great uncle in the 20's. Then to my dads cousin. The bulings were razed in the 70's and now farmed by a distant cousin. Only one coin...
