I am researching my great grandfather and am finding conflicting information on the census reports. I thought maybe an obit might be more helpful. The name is Edward Byrne and Bridget Byrne. He died in 1914 and she died in 1904. ==== IRISH-AMERICAN-OBITUARIES Mailing List ==== You may e-mail your list admin any time by addressing your message to <Irish-American-Obituaries-admin@Rootsweb.com>.
