Ballycarry edit on 10 January 2010?[edit]

Greetings, Smutsie.

Regarding this edit to the fourth bullet under the People section which you made on 10 January 2010: Although I have no doubt that this edit is well-intentioned, it unfortunately introduces contradictory information. My initial temptation is to undo the change and revert it back to the version from 26 December 2009, but I cannot justify that decision, since neither the original text nor the new text cite any references to support their assertions. Therefore, given my inability to independently verify or refute either assertion, I feel they both should be given equal weight.

I am also mildly concerned about the use of the term "gggggrandfather": it seems to be an abbreviated substitution for the rather onerous term "great-great-great-great-grandfather" but, according to Wikipedia article on Grandparent, I believe that the term "fourth great grandfather" might be more acceptable.

I have posted this information on the Talk:Ballycarry page for discussion, but I wanted to also post this here to get your suggestions, as well.
