Future research plans include getting Iowa death records for all four of my Irish great-greats. I also need to look for the will for John Kennedy at the Clinton Co. Historical Society. I want to do more research on Mary Fox's brothers: Thomas, who died young in Clinton Co. and Patrick, who I believe was a teamster in St. Louis. I also need to reconcile John Kennedy's account of his early years in the US with that of his probable sister, Mary (Kennedy) Lawler Kennedy. I also need to find out more info on Hanora (Collins) Wallace Kennedy's early years in the US with her first husband. Naturalization records for John Kain and John Kennedy are also on my to do list. Once all that is done, I can begin the search back in the Old Country.
Hi Kevin,
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I are working on tracing our families back and it looks like my husband, Jeff Dolejs, is distantly related to you. His great-grandmother was Margaret Huigens. Can you tell me where the Irish descent would come from with Margaret? Any leads would be great! Thanks!
Always great to meet a new cousin, especially another descendant of John and Mary Huigens. My Irish lines are from my Grandma Julia who married Margaret's brother, my Grandpa Joe. Margaret, Joe and the other Huigens siblings are 1/4 Dutch and 3/4 Prussian. Their Huigens grandfather was a Dutch immigrant. All their other grandparents came from Prussia. Look around my blog for posts on Huigens and Fitzler for more info.
