Hi

A man called Geordie O'Hara told me to check this video out on Saturday nite. The man in the blue jumper dancing and riding the bike is my daddy, Frankie Nolan. He died 9 years ago coming 31st January 2010. I'm his youngest. My name is Rosealeen. It is a lovely video. It would be lovely if everyone could get on like that nowadays. They seemed to have gr8 fun.

Hi Rosealeen,

Nice to hear from you! My parents took this video on a visit to Belfast in 1959. My mother Marie and your father are first cousin. They are walking arm in arm in the video. That makes us second cousins! We are sorry to hear of your fathers passing. I am working on a family tree and would love any information you may be able to provide about your family, siblings etc. Please pass this video to any relatives you can think of.

Thanks again and take care,

Linda
