Lila, No we are not. I know there is a Brennan family on the western side of the bridge. The fellow is a principal of a high school and they live on a farm I believe. My husband's Brennan's are from Yonkers down by NY City. My northern relatives were O'Connor, Keating, Trainor/Traynors, McArdle, Flood, Palmer etc. Jake Flood was an MD in WAtertown for many years. And way back Leo Palmer lived in Watertown. The Traynor's were in Carthage and some in Watertown. I have never met the Carthage folks and would really like to . Some of the wives were Mulhollands, Coughlin's who married Traynors and lived in WAtertown. marg >From: lila george <[email protected]> >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [NYJEFFER] Five generations on a Videotape >Date: Sun, 21 Jan 2007 15:05:38 -0800 (PST) > >Hello, > Saw your post on the NYJeffer list and was wondering if you are >connected to the Brennan's in Alex Bay? > > > Lila George > >margie Brennan <[email protected]> wrote: > My brother lives in WVA and has been doing this for us.
