I am hoping that the Church records will help me to clarify relationships and fill in any gaps. i am not sure how far their records go back though. The Sullivans and Scanlons were both involved in the founding of the parish, but not sure what records the Church might have on them. It is possible that some events very early on may have been recorded with another church? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
