Let us keep in touch.As for Murphys, Melrose is in Monroe County.Little spot.Heavily settled by Irish in the 1800's and now has an Irish motif for the town--Irish shop, etc.Albia is the county seat. My grandmother Murphy married a McGee who was born in Ontario, parents immigrated from Ireland.Irish everywhere!Please let me know if you do hear about the book.Donna
