Hi Jean! Yes, I am working on Osborn's. Margaret Osborn who married Patrick Divine/Devaney was my ggg grandmother. It goes: (1) Richard Osborn +Ruth Ware (2) Margaret Osborn + Patrick Devaney (3) Nancy Devaney + William Charles Kendall (4) Nina Marie Kendall + Robert Lincoln Pyles (5) William Pearl Pyles + Velda V. Male/Mahle Then my father, and then to me. Just started on this line. Patrick is going to be the tough one as he was from County Sligo, Ireland. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Hope to hear from you soon!

Hi Cindy I'm on the road and only picking up email every few days. When was your ancestor born in County Sligo (approximate)? I have done a lot of research in County Kerry and have been there and saw with my two eyes the original Catholic record of my ancestors baptism in 1809. Maybe I can give you some ideas to try on Sligo. Irish research isn't as bad as it first seems once you learn a few things. Barbara
