Greetings All: After a period of extended distractions (computer problems, my own personal genealogy research, some minor illnesses, other interests, and yes, just plain laziness), I am finally getting back to working on my Kennedy and Killyleagh area databases. The computer problems caused some lose of data. (a BAD thing). This loss of data, in turn, caused the need to rebuild the databases. ( a GOOD thing because it showed flaws and discrepancies that I needed to correct, especially in providing sources for the information. I am therefore requesting anyone who has found connections ( during their own research ) with any of the following areas ( or others nearby) Killyleagh, Inch, Shrigley, Tullyveery, Saintfield, Crossgar, Kilmore, Killinchy, Ringdufferin, or even Saul or Downpatrick (or other spellings of these towns), to please contribute information to the database. I am looking for Names, dates, locations, events, connections between people, anything else you wish to contribute, the SOURCES of the information, and any contact information with yourself that you wish to provide, etc. I am NOT going to sell the information. I WILL provide the information FREE when I get it assembled. Occasionally while assembling it I may come across information at the same time someone is searching for the same thing. I will send what I can at that time. As I get big chunks of info I will offer to do searches. When I finish ( or finish BIG chunks) I will either set up my own web page for people to search for the information or send it to other FREE web pages already set up for searches. Right now my focus is assembling the information. Please send what you can. The same request goes for any KENNEDY information in Killyleagh areas County Down mentioned above, Kircudbrightshire, Scotland, and Kennedy' associated with Northbridge& Upton, MA, Smithfield & Providence RI, Watertown NY, Fort Leavenworth KS, Mike Kennedy

KENNEDY Ellen on 13 August 1848 at Portwilliam to Moses Kennedy and Ellen Lindsay Hi passing I just saw the above birth in a post from WIGTOWNSHIRE. You probably got in yourself. You can subscribe to the line if you wish. It has a lot of Irish emigrants who came over as agricultural laborers in the 1800s. Portwilliam is where my Irish gggfrandfather Owen McQueen first called Quinn/Queen then McQueen. They have census for 1851 online. Give them a post if you want to get on their list. There might be lots of info on Kennedy family.
