For those who missed it there was a short article on The Proud History of the Reidy Clan By Maeve Molloy in Irish America magazine a few months back. I must have been tired when I posted this last night since I forget the link ( http://www.irishabroad.com/irishworld/irishamericamag/decjan08/departments/TheProudHistoryOfReidy.asp ) as well as the tags. The article has a bit on name variants, history, and various well-known Reidys. Irish America magazine has much of interest online and it is worth looking around. This article happened to catch my attention. Happy reading!
