Dear Mr Burns
I was so excited to receive your reply to the above message.

I am a fairly new researcher trying to put together my family history.

James O'Shannessy and Ellen Coleman are my great great grandparents. The information I have to date, tells me that they were married in April 1968 in Belfast, Victoria. They had 11 children ( to the best of my knowledge !!)

My direct line follows on through their first born, Michael.

So before I go much further Mr Burns, are we talking about the same O'Shannessy's ???

And could you please share with me your connection to the O'Shannessy/Coleman family.

I look forward to hearing from you very soon.

Kindest regards,
Kerry Angus (nee O'Shannessy)
