I know there is a Breen connection to a Dunn around that era. Gerry, I think you were the one who alerted me to a Breen godparent for one of your relatives. I am going to be away for a few weeks, but I will look up the information I have when I get back. I am researching Edward Owen Breen and his family, including his mother Matilda or Martha (Harris) Breen, brother William (wife Rose) and sister Susan (Breen) Murphy, as well as the children of all of them. Good luck with your search!
