Hi List, Does anyone have a connectio to : John Byrnes (Burns) his wife Bridget Kennedy. Their daughter married a John O'Brien in 1872. John and Bridget came to the US Feb. 1859, destination Jersey City. This family always lived next door to the Smith family, I imagine a connection there as well. The family lived Cornelison and Montgomery area. Marge ps there were 12 children in the Burns family.
