Hi Sean,Thank U for your reply... I didn't know that about the spell change... I'll check that out...Can I ask you Sean, where are U from ?My oldest son's name is *Sean* also with that spelling. I was told that *Sean* means John, so I had named my son after my father (i.e. John Francis Tracey) except spelled in the Irish sense...Im so very much in the beginning of this research, that I don't have my self very organized at all yet. Have print outs and notes all over the place. I have a notebook and all, but just not organized yet.I was started on a GEDCOM file by the LDS about 2-1/2 weeks ago... I have to get back to there office hopefully Thursday to come... I have a location that is only about 15 miles from home...Tks again Sean... Huggs, Sherri

Hi Sean,Yep, I believe that was my grandmother, considering the names of her brothers are mentioned there and the address's I have for the oldest brother.. Including her year of birth, would make it her.I heard that mentioned by someone else also about the name spelling, but I didn't realise that places where changed too....I have a lot to learn here, thats 4 sure...I wondered if that Bridget that is *15* is a cousin to my grandmother ?... Just kinda a hunch since the fathers where close in age, same occupation and location seems...I'll have to check that phone book and see what I can figure out..Tks again Sean : )Rgds Sherri: Sherri, Are you related to one of the two Bridget Kivlan's in Dromahaire Village in 1901 Census; one 10 and the other 15?
