Hi,

My name is Patrick. I am a musician from Co. Tipperary in Ireland.

I am 53, married, 5 kids.

I first became interested in the relatively short life of Marie Antoinette back in the 1980s after I read a book; can't remember what it was called but it was a great read and I'd love to one day come across it again. I am currently reading Antonia Freaser's book; the Kindle version.

Anyway, looking forward to learning more about Marie Antoinette and everyone connected to her.........I recently found out I share a birthday with her brother Joseph March 13

Hi Patrick,

Nice to meet you, I'm new here too

5 Kids! Wow!

Thanks for the welcome!

I am from a Catholic background so having lots of kids is encouraged

Welcome to the forum Patrick! There is so much good reading about Marie Antoinette, check the forum section on books for suggestions - you may come across the book you read in the 80's!

Thanks Lilly for the welcome and indeed the advice. I will definitely check out the book section.
