Hi, my name is Nancy Praetzel, from California. I have communicated with Bill before. I have connections to McCabe, Smith and Brady families, from the area ofCo. Monaghan near the Cavan Border. My ggrandparents, Patrick and Bridget McCabe, of Greaghalone, Monaghan ( 5 miles +/- SE of Shercock in Cavan, and on the border) lived on a farm adjacent to that of the Smyth/Smiths, across the border in Cavan. Kathleen or Catherine Smith was Bridget McCabe's sisters. grandmother Annie McCabe came to San Francisco. with cousin Catherine Smith Jr. in 1890s. There were already McCabe and Smith Aunts and Uncles there to help. ( Philip Smith). Grandmother's sister Rose Anne, stayed in Ireland and married Brady, from Kingscourt. Daughter Mollie, There are still McCabe and Smith descendants in San Francisco Area.
