Hi Kevin, Thanks for the explanation of how your family got to St. Louis. I enjoyed it. Didn't know you lived in NO - I have Kerwin relatives in my family, as follows: Edward Fitzpatrick (son of my gr gr grandfather Peter who immigrated to NO from Co. Louth) b. 26 Oct. 1869 N.O., La - bapt. 19 Dec 1869 at Sts. Peter and Paul Church, New Orleans, LA; Sponsors Michael Murray and Mary Brennon d. 17 June 1936 (67yrs. old) m. Mary E. Fals Kerwin. b. 1869 d. 31 Oct. 1922 (53 years. old) St. Vincent de Paul. She had two children James C. & Richard Kerwin. Edward was a policeman and wife Mary was a midwife and they lived at 1236 Mandeville. Half sister Mary Ann lived with Edward from 1927 till 1934.
