Ed's Famous Cousin: Maybe you saw Corina Brouder sing and play the harp on NBC's "America's Got Talent." She didn't make the final cut but she is still part of a very talented family of musicians.

Corina's parents come from the same village in County Limerick, Ireland as Ed's ancestors. While they've never met, the families have corresponded for genealogy purposes. For more info on Corina visit her website and sign her Guestbook (say her cousin was talking about her on the radio)
