Hello Mike, I am a Kennedy,my GrandFather's family are from the Co Down, and I have recently begun a search for information about my Kennedy family. I had not heard of Dobson's books but I will see what information I can find and will let you know if I have any luck, in the mean time someone else may contact you with the information you are looking for. So far I have learned that my Great Grand Parents Charles and Ellen Kennedy were from the Drumee/Bryansford/Newcastle area, I don't know if that is the area that you are interested in but if so I have some photos of these places that I can e-mail to you.
