Hello Bud: Catherine and Bridget Blessington would have been the little sisters of my 2nd-great grandmother, Mary Blessington who married John Martin and lived in Ft. Dodge, Iowa. Hence, Catherine and Bridget would have been my 2nd-great grand aunts. Attached is a family group sheet showing what genealogical information I have. I would greatly appreciate it if you could fill in any missing information and email or mail it back to me. Any information that you can give would be appreciated. Sincerely, Bob Genter 178 B VT Route 15 Jericho, Vermont 05465 802-899-5160 -----Original Message----- >From: skroch <skroch@sbcglobal.net> >Sent: Oct 30, 2008 9:15 PM >To: blessington@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [Blessington] Blessington home in Ireland > >I AM THE G-GREAT GRANDSON OF THE BRIDGET BLESSINGTON THAT KAY KORDIK SPEAKS >OF.
