hi again, may i ask a possibly stupid question please? my gr,grandmother the one i spoke of earlier, on her death record it says her maiden name was BRENNAN but my uncle swears it was BRANNIGAN. now are these names kind of the same??? but he remembers talking to her and she telling him about growing up in Gortacar County Tyrone and she had 13 brothers and sisters and her one sister, SARA came over with her and they landed in Phila PA April 1st 1881. and on the 1910 census it does say she came over in 1881. so i don't know if i should start really checking out both names. thank you again kathy Researching; Dougherty, McLaughlin, Gordon, MacDonald McDonald, Brennan and Shephard in Canada, Ireland, and Phila PA Vollmer (Fulmer), Renz (Rentz), Brauch, Schumacher (Shoemaker), Muller, Blinn and Hofmann in Germany, Ohio and Indiana Baer (Beyer), Paszotta, Carney (Craney), Shutt, Meyers and Jones in Germany, Delaware, Indiana and Philadelphia ----------------------------------------- list "mom" for; Vollmer-L@rootsweb.com Paszotta-L@rootsweb.com Brauch-L@rootsweb.com Germans-to-Phila-L@rootsweb.com Blinn-L@rootsweb.com GERMANS-OH-STARKCO-L@rootsweb.com ----------------------------------------- my home page: http://community.webtv.net/kathy556/DoughertyGordonBaer
