Dear Jo, My g grandmother was Catherine Lynch of Co Cork. m John Whelan about 1856. First child was born in Leavenworth, KS 1857. Was in Grimes County, TX 1n 1860.I don't know where or when they came to USA. Yes I am still on the list. My Whelans changed the spelling to Whealan so it would be pronounced correctly. They must be shanty Irish !! Yours, Mary Austin ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET! Juno now offers FREE Internet Access!
