Hi Jim Kinally ! I don't recall getting an e-mail from you before, but I am sure that if you say you sent it, it went to the ILLASALL-L rootsweb.com , just as this one did. Now,can I pick your brain some more about the people from Ransom that we are appentlty both related to ? As you, no doubt, know there are a lot of Irish people who have kids that they name Michael and Joseph and Patrick and Josephine and James and Eileen. Would you have any e-mail addresses for people in the Ransom area that are related to the McIntyres or the Corrigans that may still be there ? Eileen McIntyre would be a few years younger than my mom, if Mom was still alive. Mom was born in Ottawa in 1912. How about M.J. Corrigan-----would that stand for Michael Joseph ? We have a cousin, who is much younger than M.J. would be with that name. Is Arthur Corrigan still with us? If not, do you know an e-mail address for any of his descendants ? I have not heard of the Mulvihill family referred to, but if Josephine was from the Ransom-Streator-Odell area she may also be related in some way to my mother's family-----incidentally, my mother's name was Josephine. Even if Josephine Mulvihill Corrigan was not related, except by marraige to M.J. there may be people from that family who have e-mail addresses that are doing or have done the Family Tree for others that are related. I would appreciate the e-mail addresses for any that you know of that might be related to any of us----this has become a really fascinating pasttime and I really get a kick out of it. If you would like, I can give the names of some other people that are related to our family that have reeeeeeealy done a lot of getting relations ' staerting all over the place. Thanks for your response, Dick Corrigan Orland Park, Illinois [email protected]
