A week ago we posted a request for help in deciphering a surname on a death certificate. To refresh your memory about the details, read this blog posting:  blog.irishgenealogical.org/?p=6640 Here's an update on the story: our reader found a marriage record for her ancestors under the name "Makan"! That's a s-t-r-e-t-c-h from the name we see written on the death certificate! But we're glad she's been able to follow up on the clue.
