Think there were 1 or 2, but alas the communication has lapsed.

I go there every now and then as I have traced my ancestors (for SCA-2) on my Grandmothers, father side, originally from Northern Ireland. Thomas Harte marrried Mary Atkinson

Setteled in Pittsfield, Mass.

I cannot find anything in Ireland.

I now live in Florida., SCA-2, Dad died of complications from Ataxia in 1997, his mom died of cancer, but had Ataxia,

Her brother Patrick Hart died of ataxia.

Me. I live in Germany and Portugal, but will be moving permanently to Portugal in October.

I have a brother in Belfast who has ataxia, but due to family objection (his), we don`t communicate. There again, his secretive nature is a

reinforcement anyhow.

Me. I live in Germany and Portugal, but will be moving permanently this October to Portugal.

I have a brother in Belfast who has ataxia but we don`t communicate due to his family`s objection(s).

There again, his secretive nature only reenforces it, doubtless.

Hi, I live in Larne, I have been diagnosed with Late Onset Cerebellar Ataxia since 2010 although I first went to the Dr in 2008 after having strange symptoms for a couple of years before that. I went to the Dr in 2008 because I could no longer do my work safely. I have not meet anyone else from NI but I know their are more of us. I'm on a lot of prescribed medication to try and help with symptoms and I've also had a lift and wetroom installed to help me to live in my house.
