Hi John and Gail, I am only just starting to try and find my ggg grandmother Bridget Kennedy so I have no other info otherthan what i stated in previous mail so i feel i may not find them unless someone can steer me in the right direction as i dont have Bridget and Mary's mother maiden name i suspect it is going to be really hard to locate them. My Bolger family came from County Carlow and i have been very lucky in finding them as the County Carlow list has been very helpful and the County Carlow website an extra source for researchers I have also transcribed records for the County carlow site as the list owner gets info and then gets you to transcribe them and then he puts them up on his site. so i was hoping if i joined the Tipperary List it may well have some handy sites to look up etc like the Carlow one. I will keep trying to locate my kennedy girls and i will keep a look out for yours too, we may find at a later date we are related. Good luck with your research and have a great chrissy from down under tricia John or Gail Sextontricia > Hi there Tricia: > > Merry Christmas to you too. > > We too, are searching Kennedy's of Tipperary.
