I had known your grandmother for many years and was sorry to here of her passing and that of your grandfather. I have been in touch with either your father or Uncle Alex. I spoke to him just the other day. I didn't know the farm house was for sale. I have a vague memory of it as a young girl going to visit it. I would love a picture of it. I never asked for one before. Dennis and Mary Elizabeth Sweeney O'Grady are our great-grandparents, both from Ireland but from different places. The O'Grady's are from County Limerick and Sweeney's from County Sligo. I have only been able to go back one other generation , with Dennis's parents being John and Ellen Leahy O'Grady, and Catherine, (Dennis's first wife) and Mary's parents being John and Mary Durcan Sweeney. Your Grandmother was the youngest of all the children as I am sure you already know but she was a great source for me to find out so much about our family. Please contact me when you get a chance. My e-mail is IRED52@aol.com, my name is Ellenjane. Take care cousin (2nd cousins) :)) ) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
