A silly bunch!

Thanks to a distant cousin Susan B., we know quite a bit more about the family of Emily Geiger (She was married to William J. Kenna - they divorced later).  Susan provided this information quite a while ago, but I'm just getting around to posting it now.  The new information here is about Emily's mother Antoinette Zeiser and her family, all from Germany.  See the partial pedigree chart below - click on it to go to the chart and browse.

 I took this a couple of weeks ago at Crescent City, CA.  They have beautiful beaches and sunsets.

While searching the Limerick Ireland Genealogy database (http://www.limerickgenealogy.com/) for birth records on James Kenna found here in my database, I found a James McKenna born or baptized 14 May 1810.  The record is from the St. Michael's (Roman Catholic) district in County Limerick.  His father is listed as Michael McKenna and mother as Catherine Collopy.  There was no other information on the transcribed record.

This could be the guy I am looking for (the date and location are matches), but I can't be sure since I don't know his mother or father's names.

(This search cost me 5 euro!!)

The Brides House is the place to go if you are looking for a bride :-)! Taken on 3/11/2008 at Locus Street in St. Louis, MO.  I love how the upper window looks like someone is holding the curtain aside to look out the window.

I've just completed digitizing and uploading a Hansel/Hansler family genealogy based on an old book that I believe was compiled by (Benjamin?) Franklin Hansel, 1853-1940. Hansel is one of the family names that connects to the Willette/Ouelette line on this site. The book starts with Hans Hansel around the early 1700's, and it is mostly a list of names with some personal accounts. The bulk of the information (412 people & 147 families) has been loaded into the family tree database - but there is more that I did not input yet. The records start here with Hans Hansel and his descendants.
