RICHARD A. PIVA (CONRAD)15 yr
I am a direct descendant of Captain Michael McGuire as well as Prince Demetrius A. Gallitzin so if anyone wishes to get in touch with me I have some rare photos up on you tube now go look at """butchuno1"""" of my family from whence Robert Simon Conrad came from Loretto one of 12 children and I have reviewed the family history starting when I was 12 long long before geneology was popular and have rare photos and would like others who have photos such as this rare post card I found from the Carmelite Monastery from 1930 so please feel free to get in touch with me Rick Piva (Conrad) at rapmaui@yahoo.com and God bless everyone who reads this from afar across the pond on Maui in Hawaii aloha RICK!

It was recently my brother and I went to the graves of Capt. Michael McGuire. There are some stones that are unable to read on the left side of Capt. Michael stone, and would like to know who they are. Plus would like to know of any other McGuires that may be at rest there. I am doing a family tree and would like to know all that might be buried there. Thank You Stephen P. McGuire

Are the two cottages, by the iron gate for rent? In other words, do you allow guests? If you have a brochure, or any other information, I would be interested in learning more.
