 PLEASE READ!!! This
                           page is a work in progress, an experiment with a new design and format.  Because the collection of documents, photos
                           and research notes is growing, I'm introducing "family" pages to exhibit these items and give more indepth biographies
                           whenever possible.  I do not take credit for artwork here, it is stock graphics I found on-line and will add credits
                           as soon as I can clarify where I found each piece (sloppy web searches on my part).  As always, if you can provide corrections, or additional
                           information or items, or, if you would like to provide feedback on the new design, please EMAIL
                           me, Áine (Irene) MacCollar. 
 I have documents and obituaries for the
                           Teresa McCollor descendants, most are courtesy of Mark Rabidas (thank you!). I'll be doing more work on this page, hoping
                           to include a narrative of some sort should family members care to help me out.  For now, however, I will use this page
                           as a space to "park" what I do have until I can better organize the page.  All documents
                           here are shown in reduced size.  Please click on each document to view in larger sizes.
