hello, this is a wonderful site and im glad i found it. here is my question....
my grandparents all came from Ireland my Grandfather just resently pasted away. unfortunatly my family is unfamiliar with the Irish Gaelic language so i am left to fend for myself. our Family Crest Motto is "transfixed but not dead" now the best i can do for an acurate irish gaelic idiom/translation is "Staic ach beó fós" which i believe means 'transfixed but still alive'..... is this correct? and is it the most accurate translation? any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance

I have just found out I am to be a Grandmother! I am from the States and do not speak Irish, but I would like to know the Irish words for Grandmother and Granfather, as well as any other terms used for these family memebers.
I am not familiar with the sounds so a phonetic explanantion would also be appreciated.
Thank you for any help.
