Paul ChisholmHi all,
Looking for any info on my grandmother, Bridget A. Collins and her family. They lived in Keekill. Her parents were James Collins and Mary Finn. Bridget emigrated to Boston in 1894, following her brother Michael, who had arrived 5 years earlier. Michael does not seem to have been his birth name as I have not found that name in the birth records. My hunch is he was born Hubert but was known as Michael.
Thanks,
My great grandfather is John E. Finn he was married to Ellen Hession. My Grandfather was Edward Finn, he grew up in Charlestown Ma. My Mother was his youngest daughter Claire. Her Brother Edward (Buddy) is still alive
Hi,
Great to hear from you. According to what I've been able to figure out, John E. Finn was my great grandmother Mary Finn's brother. My grandmother, Bridget Collins would have been your grandfather, John E. Finn's cousin. Mary and John E.'s parents were Daniel Finn and Bridget Flanagan, in Keekill.
I'm living in MA still. Please feel free to email me at chisfam@comcast.net.
Thanks for getting in touch,
Paul Chisholm
