hello! my gr,grandmother was born Jul 5th 1866 in or near Gortacar County Tyrone. on her death record it says her maiden name was ANNA BRENNAN but i just spoke with an uncle and he swears she told him that her maiden name was BRANNIGAN, that she had 13 brothers and sisters, that she landed in Phila PA on Apr 1st 1881 and that a sister named SARA immigrated with her (and this sister married a FITZGERALD). so could anyone here possibly tell me if Brennan and Brannigan are kind of like McDonald and MacDonald?????? thank you kathy Researching; Dougherty, McLaughlin, Gordon, MacDonald McDonald, Brennan and Shephard in Canada, Ireland, and Phila PA Vollmer (Fulmer), Renz (Rentz), Brauch, Schumacher (Shoemaker), Muller, Blinn and Hofmann in Germany, Ohio and Indiana Baer (Beyer), Paszotta, Carney (Craney), Shutt, Meyers and Jones in Germany, Delaware, Indiana and Philadelphia ----------------------------------------- list "mom" for; [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] ----------------------------------------- my home page: http://community.webtv.net/kathy556/DoughertyGordonBaer
