My mother has been in Ireland for 3 days (the first two of which were for touristing in Dublin and resting) and has managed to find two distant cousins to talk to about family history.
Mom, Dad, and Godmother are on a trip together. They went with a fancy tour company and a driver. Mom and Godmother wanted to go to certain places for genealogy reasons. They met up with the driver today to go to the first town, church, and cemetery. Mom and driver got to talking. Driver knew someone who knew an old-timer (92) they went to talk with who knew where the chapel (ruins) that branch of the family was baptized at was located. I've got pictures of the chapel in the family group chat.
Driver's friend meets them at the cemetery and got family names and got Mom and co in touch with Cousin 1. They meet up and talk. Cousin 1 gives mom number for Cousin 2 since she's the family historian. They're meeting up tomorrow.
The house the family lived in during the early 1800s is now a charity shop. I've got pictures of the building.
Further updates as they come in.
