I do actually know where the family came from in Ireland--well, if those Tully baptismal certificates for Margaret Flannery Tully's children can be believed! But the question I have now is: is this other Flannery family--the ones who apparently were neighbors of Margaret in Paris, Ontario--related to her?Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-92225365707617210512014-04-02T23:15:46.153-07:002014-04-02T23:15:46.153-07:00Wendy, I've had my doubts about some of these ...Wendy, I've had my doubts about some of these ancestors' ability to remember their own children's birthdays.

My ancestors seemed never to know their own age or birth date; they went by their first name one census and their middle name the next. The ADHD of record-keeping.
