I have decided to delete my old Blogger genealogy blog. There is nothing but a “store front” at the site now. I want to concentrate on this site! All of the Blogger posts, including images, are available here.
Yesterday I was able to add Family Group Sheet pages for all of my main Kennedy ancestors. In [...]

I did a bit more research on my 3rd great-grandmother Susan William Lee (Martin) Kennedy. Now that’s a mouthful! I was rechecking GenealogyBank, to check the dates on a couple of mentions, and I found a new interest of Mrs. Kennedy’s: she was the president of the Old Ladies Home Society of Texas, based in [...]
