Hi Karen, WONDERFUL to hear from you as your husband has some distant relatives in Ireland
and Scotland. It would be great if you have the time to look in directories for William
Leinster.He seperated from the family when his boys were young and disappeared.William
probably married Elizabeth Corcoran in Ireland and then followed Williams sister Maggie to
Indiana. They were living there at least in 1900/1901 as Joseph was born there April
24,1900 and George -b May 23,1901 in Lafayette. Joseph ended back at the homestead in
Baileborough,Cavan County Ireland . His grandson lives there and I have corresponded with
him and another relative in Scotland for some time. They will be excited to hear about
you. We are not sure about my connection but have been working together to establish this.
My people descend from from a James Leinster and Anna Fairfield circa 1830 Bailiborough.
