Hi Ann, I was researching My Minogue line, which I don't know much about when I came across your post. When you mentioned the crystal blue eyes I smiled because it seems to be a Minogue trait. My father Joseph Minogue has those crystal blue eyes and fortunately passed them down to his children. It must be a Minogue thing(lol)...Im researching his father born about 1898 or 1899 but not sure exactly. He died in January of 1941, He was supposedly born in Ireland but lived and married in NYC. He married Rose Mcnally and had one son in 1937, my father. It doesn't seem that there is a connection between my Minogue line and yours but I figured it wouldn't hurt to inquire. Thanks for your time.-Trish(pminogue@aol.com)
