What a lovely story.
Eileen Macken finally got to meet her 104 year old mother after years and years of searching.
I heard the initial interview given by Eileen to Joe Duffy on Liveline, where she spoke of her upset at not knowing about her mother, having been brought up in an orphanage in Dublin.
A genealogist worked on the details given and she was united with her still alive at 103 mother who lives in Scotland.
I'd love to know who the genealogist is.
What an amazing story - sometimes miracles happen. Smile

I saw this on the news- amazing to find and meet her mum at that age. Such a lovely result after a long lifetime of not knowing.

Eileen sounded like a really gentle lady, and had a tough time in her early days. Her search was such a long one.
I'm so glad she had a family of her own and has finally realised her dream.
