James was a shoemaker and had 4 bros and i sister. James' mother was Mary McMEEL, sister of Ellen McMEEL who m. Patrick McKENNA, my g grandmothers younger brother. Anyone know of this line of McKENNA's? Thanks for the data here so far and i read the Archives as well, but have seen nothing yet on these McKENNA's.....
