Hi I'm Gerry Etherson son of Bobby Etherson - 3rd son of Margaret Kearney. I, my wife Shirley and three children will be over from Coventry in July on holidays in Ballycastle and look forward to the reunion. My Sister Elaine and her family will be joining us along with my younger brother Adrian and his girfriend. Dad and Mum will also be there following the wedding the previous week. My older brother Tony and his family will be in France at the time. Keep up the great work Martin and all the committee on an excellent website and look forward to seeing you all in July.

Barack Obama says that he has Irish roots. Stephen Neill, a Church of Ireland rector from Cloughjordan, Co Tipperary did the research which showed that Obama is a decendant of Joseph Kearney a shoemaker from Moneygall, Co. Offaly.

Hello, Myself and my son Brian have just spent a very enjoyable hour browsing this wonderful site. Full of lots of familar faces, and looking forward to meeting everyone in July.

I need to brag.  Shauna Gray (Mick/Bridie/Liz), my niece, graduated yesterday from the University of Ottawa with a Bachelor's Degree in Education (cum laude).  This follows a Bachelor of Arts degree in linguistics from Carleton University last year.  Shauna is Bridie's first grandchild to graduate from university.  Mom would have been so proud!  Well done, Shauna!

p.s.  As this is the season for graduations and accomplishments, I hope everyone will brag about their kids.

Hello, I am Lesa, granddaughter of Pat & Mary Ann, daughter of Eugene & Theresa.  I married an englishman and we live in London and with two children of our own - Archie and Eva, who both have Kearney as their middle name.  
This website gives a very impressive account and I am hoping that it will continue on after July with all of the records, speeches and photos made then.  A sincere congratulations and thank you to all involved.

Hi,
I'm Barbara and i am 15 years old! I am a daughter of Juliana Kearney and a granddaughter of Brian kearney(Ballymena). This website is a really good idea and is very interesting. I will see you all at the barbeque. Good luck with the planning!
Barbara.

Absolutely wonderful website and incredible amount of detail included. Ray and I have 4 children (had 5), Elsa, Andrew, Leah Jennifer (& Amy) & live in Newcastle, Co. Dublin. Really looking forward to attending the reunion. Can I make a suggestion that the descendents of each family wear say a specific coloured ribbon to distinguish them e.g. Red for Mick's, Blue for John's etc. as I am quite sure some of us won't have a notion whos who & it would be nice to meet as many relations as possible! Really looking forward to meeting you all (or some of you!) Eleanor.

What a great website, and I read every page of it with great interest.  I am descended from a line of Kearneys from the area around Dungiven in Co. Derry.  My GrGrGrGrandfather was Francis Kearney and he was from the townland of Brackaghlislea in Co. Derry.

Obviously the close proximity of your Kearney family has peaked my interest as I have for a long time been trying to connect to Kearney relatives in Ireland.

We have been to Ireland 3 times in the past 8 years and cannot wait to return again.

I would be very interested in hearing from any of the Kearneys of Portglenone to explore further the possibility of a link to our families.

Thanks for making such an incredible website available to all others interested in the Kearney family and best of luck with the reunion in July.

Hi to all Kearneys, this is Marie Nelis, Derry, granddaughter of Pat and Mary-Anne, Rosemount, daughter of Maire Bradley, we are both having a great time looking at the website -thanks to all the organisors - it is indeed a moment of history and a great source of info about the family for future generations. Mum says "It brought back lovely memories of the first reunion back in 1958 and looking forward to seeing all the clan later this year. Love "Pat's Maire.""

This is fascinating reading and a very impressive website by all accounts. There is so much research and all the hard work has paid off. You should be very proud! I am Pat & Mary ann's grand daughter, and I have twin daughters Lily & Grace who are not much older now than the twins in the 1958 picture! Love the website.Well done

Already 350 people have visited this website over 700 times.  Please make sure everyone of the 13 families knows about it.  Watch out for a number of changes to the reunion itinerary next week.  A number of families still haven't forwarded their families trees.  Come on !!
