    1. Re: [IRL-KERRY] Canal Workers named Sweeney
    2. lol Must of been the other Sweeney's in that case Jack. Sadly the name of those who died under fire weren't recorded. Just more Irish riff-raff. I was amazed to see that while this town filled with Irish it was still run by the old WASP gentry. That is until the County Kerry bunch got a foot hold. The first group of Irish to break into city government were all Kerrymen. That wasn't until the latter part of the century. I have a letter written by my great grandfather James Walsh b. 1849 which is quite amazing. He was very well educated back in Kerry even though they didn't have the proverbial pot. Margaret

    3. Good Morning Margaret: Let the "truth be known", there are no "other Sweeney's". It must be genetic but we are all alike, a pleasant rabble. The "pleasant" is most important, it sort of softens the impact of the other reality. Love, Jack Sweeney, looking out the window at a beautiful morning in Palmer, Pennsylvania.
