Hi David, If you feel that it is possible that your family settled in the Quad-City area of Davenport, Iowa, I suggest that you visit the following site: celticcousins.com Just type in your surnames & be amazed. I found 231 Walsh & 68 Kahl entries. Both families were very prominent there. Do not let the name "Celtic Cousins" through you. All my German Westendorf kin are there as well as the Irish. I would like to hear from you if you have a connection to the Walshes of Walsh Construction Co. I have family pictures which I would be pleased to share. Jo Westendorf Banks

I am sorry but I don't know a lot about my Walsh family I have been working on it for about three years. My Gfather's name Francis Walsh went by Frank most ot the time. He was suposed have come to California from New York as young man with a young lady is one of the stories I've heard. He settled around Holister California. He was married there twice. He is supose to have had brother named Bill? Owned a red wood saw mill in Fresno County California. His Father's name was Michael Mother was Emelia Nolon. From Ireland. Were is Frank was born don't . What I am thinking whith what little I he may have been bornaround San Benito County California 1865. It would be nice if we are conected. But I think we are not to the Walsh Constrution. I wish I could find some one.
