Hi Folks I have just returned from a family (MacDONALD) reunion in C.B. and should be back up to regular speed (whatever that might be) in a day or so. Will check my data base and see what I can add. Will reconnect within a couple of days Don In a message dated 22/08/2010 3:22:25 P.M. Atlantic Daylight Time, sandy.barb@ns.sympatico.ca writes: Rusty, Yes, this Eliza is indeed Eliza Kennedy. She was born about 1822 in Little Lorraine & married John Gibbs in 1840. They are my GG grandparents. I'm trying to find Eliza Kennedy's parents. I have information on some of the first Kennedys of Louisbourg & Lorraine. I'm trying to find the link to Eliza. Also, if you have any further info on Abraham & Christian Gibbs, I'm very interested in them as well (my 4G grandparents!). Thanks for your help & interest!
