Gramma Bridget lived in Sligo, married to a Joe Flanagan,had 8 kids. All raised in Sligo area. Grampa Jack died early in his life, maybe the late 1930's. Bridget had a few sblings, not sure how many. She lost some or one son in the 40's. >From what I know, Bridget was from a family that owned a textile business, supplies for nun's habits and priest clothing( I am not sure what these are called,sorry) Bridget had family ,maybe her mom or aunt that traveled back and forth to the states..well to do as I have been told. Bridget may have been from Roscommons area. Please,if any of this sounds like it fits anywhere,contact me. Shalom, Niamb
