===========================================



Dear Hugh,
Thank you so much for offering to give a look-see for my relatives.

The first is my great grandfather: William Henry McKenna. He was born
in Ireland around 1843. The first I can find him is in 1880 in a little
town in Minnesota, Caledonia. He "said" he was born in Wheeling, West
Virginia (when it was part of Virginia) went to medical school in VA,
was a soldier in the Civil War, taught anatomy at Ann Arbor, MI medical
school, was related to the Henry McKenna Whiskey family in Nelson
County, Kentucky. I can't verify ANY of his statements left on an old
piece of typing paper. I can't find him in 1850, 1860, or 1870 US
census records. My personal belief is he came from Ireland and "became"
a doctor. He may have lived with a doctor at sometime. Clues: he sang
bar songs in Gaelic. He was the oldest of 7, 5 sisters with names like
Maggie, Kate, Sarah,Alice, Mary (like every other Irish family). He had
a sister or and aunt "Phila". His mother was a McGuirk or McQuirk. He
had an Priest uncle, Father McGuirk or McQuirk, of Michigan. He had a
brother Jon or John who died at sea. And last unconfirmed clue was his
family was from Derry Co. Ireland.

Second mystery: James Bohan came with his son James Jr. and maybe a
wife prior to 1850. In 1850 James and James Jr. are in Milwaukee census
and the mother is gone. James Jr. was born around 1846. James Sr. was
born between 1820 and 1826...his dates change depending on the census.
I would love to know his wife's name. I have no idea where. It looks
like he might have come from Liverpool on the ship Britannia 28 May 1849.

Just give it the once over. If you find something, great! If not, then
oh well.

Gratefully,
Sarah
Sunnyvale, California
