  • Hi John, 

    Thanks for your comment. To my knowledge all of Michael Kinsella's children stayed within the US, aside from the couple that passed away during WWI. That said, the name Michael Kinsella is super common so it would not surprise me if there was a man by the same name that moved over to London.
