Hi John, thanks for your note. Research in Ireland is hard. Not many records were kept.
No one cared much about the Irish, I guess. I have the names and dates of all of Robert
Canning's children. I have recently learned that he had three wives, not two. Mary
Cartin, Mary Anne Steele and Mary Wilson. I only knew of the last two.
As far as the Pittsburgh Gilfillans, that branch immigrated earlier than mine, I believe.
I wish I still had my grandfather here. There are so many questions I should have asked
him. Anyway, thanks for the note. My email should work dcc.rlm(a)juno.com but maybe some
filters zapped your email. Best regards, Dale
