Read about your stroke and pray that you are back to par.Am new to message boards and to genealogy research.Noticed in some of your previous messages that you mentioned some Limerick brothers who fought in the Civil War. I have some info.and can share quite a bit about Alexander(1846-1910)who married Alice Grow They were my ggrandparents. HIS parents were George Letitia Lemrick Limerick of Ill. I have a little info about Robert H. Most of my other info came from the internet, but I'll be glad to share.

Do you think you are related to the Illinois Limericks?

Also intended this for DONNA BENSCH. Donna, I will be happy to send info on the Illinois Limericks. My email is jimercer@msn.com

Hello Sheila,

I am so new at this stuff. I hope that you can help me. Something in a message that you wrote caught my eye. I am not sure how much of is correct. If you can help at all that would be wonderful.

My GGrandfather Glenn A. Anderson was married to Pearl (Nee) Limerick and her parents were George A. and Leoda Limerick. My GGrandmother Pearl was born in IL and her father as well as I know, but her mother Leoda was born in KY I think. I am trying to confirm George's parents so that I can continue to go back. My GGrandfather Glenn told me that Pearl's family at some point came from Limerick, Ireland.

Thanks so much!
Colleen Johnson
