Dublin / Re: James Connolly
« on: Wednesday 27 March 13 21:04 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,
I've been told, since i'm a kid, that my family is related to James Connolly (Geat Easter Rising) but never were able to prove it! More specifically, he would be my great great uncle.
Hope someone can help me find out if James's brother Thomas had a son named Patrick? Or if Patrick Connolly rings a bell to someone? All I know is that he was married to Kathleen Kennedy and probably, was born around 1890-1900 (I guess) and have lived near Glasgow or Paisley, Scotland). They had 3 sons (1 of them was Vincent, my grandfather).
My brother and I would really like to know if the story is true or legend and/or maybe find out a bit more about our family...
Cheers,
Cat.
