You are probably about to tell me that you made the above postings

No but I supplied some of the data to my distant cousin, Sam McMutry who lives in Australia where one branch of the Shaws of Ireland went to and he is the one who has posted the tree at the Rootsweb website. Much of the Shaw data can also be found a fairly rare book, "A History of the Clan Shaw".

By the way, my 3rd cousin twice removed was noted author and playwright George Bernard Shaw! The Internet has done wonders for homespun genealogists.
