Terry,
Maybe you're the person I'm looking for. I'm searching for descendants of James P. Brennan. He came to America in 1890 and after some time in CT, made his way to Chicago where he lived with wife Mary and daughter Marie (only child I'm aware of). I believe he was an insurance agent for The Sun Life Co. at one time and was also involved in politics. I have several addresses where he lived in Chicago. He was School Master at Bawnree (Bawnreigh) National School in Leighlinbridge before coming to America. His family lived in the Bagnalstown area. I'm only assuming that it's near Leighlinbridge. His father's name was Patrick (b. ca 1840) and I know for sure of one sister named Mary Bridget. He also had two cousins that I know of named James and Patrick (imagine that!) wh lived in Johnduffswood, Leighlinbridge. I'm looking for descendants of James P. Brennan here in the U.S. He had relatives in Glenwood, Illinois and his wife had cousins named Dooley in Buffalo, NY. He also had relatives in Meridan, CT I believe he stayed with his Aunt Eliza and Uncle (Thomas?) Brennan there for a time when he first arrived here. They may have had a daughter named Lizzie
