Member Since: May 2017 Posts: 34 Send Message	I believe my Great Great Great Grandfathers name is William Kennedy. He had four children, George, Harriet, Samuel and John to my Great Great Grandmother, Grace. I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me with finding the maiden name of Grace, she was born around 1870 and she gave birth to George in 1890, however this is all I know. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
