Michael,
In Ubuntu you can use Gedit (I'll bet Google didn't like them hijacking that name, ha ha)

Paddy, have you had a go at GIMP-IT?
Confession time: I still use Windows for a Win-95 Era Photo touch up program, ( U-Lead SE ), and a FTP-Client program called ( FTP-95 ). Okay, I'll go back to English now, but only because I don't any Gaelic.
Miriam, thanks for the ( Patrick Kanary ) information from 1911. Our Great Grandfather, Michael Henry Keniry, may have been involved with the West Clare Railroad, but when Bob Inquired in Doonbeg last fall they said that there weren't any Keniry's left in town that they know of. We suspect he immigrated to Pennsylvania, because he had contacts there, that there was the possibility of a job, and being that it was at the end of the American Civil War, there was a need for young men that hadn't been lost in battle.
I think many of us have a Fantasy about finding the Cottage our families lived in, or meeting a long lost cousin, but I think for most of us it's just that, a Fantasy. Besides, I'm very much at home here in the County Clare Library Site, with people I would never have been able to know before the Internet. I'll have a look at the Honan/Mulville Post. I don't recall Elmira, except for the Photos I Web-Posted, but I do recall that we lived on West Water Street.
In any case, Miriam, I may never understand as to why the ( Keniry ) name went through so many changes when the O'Brien's, the Gallagher's, and Spellisy's left there names as they were in Ireland. I was thinking Michael Henry Keniry was a cow thief before he immigrated, but here again, I'll probably never know for sure in this life. I would have pronounced the name ( KEN - EIRE ), but I missed my chance by well over a Hundred Years.
That's it. There's an old saying I like, "Anything worth doing is worth doing to excess!", so here's a last link to Bob and Lynne Kanary's Ireland Photos. At least One out of the Three should be working at any given time.
