Barb,
Thank you for the information.
I can see a possble connection within a generation. My great -great Grandfather was Joseph Dann who was Born in the 1820's In Tipperary,Ireland He married Jane Thompson in approx. early 1840'sin Nenagh (queens) Tipperary, Ireland
I do not have his fathers name nor do I have any info on anyone with thr last name Howard
although this appears to be prior to my records. My great grandfather Richard Thompson Dann Married Elizabeth Cather and immigrated to the us in 1873.Richard T. Dann was born in Rathdowny,Ireland Nov. 19, 1846
I have attempted to locate relatives in Ireland without any success, although some of my aunts out east have met them some years ago but do not remember where they live exactly. If we could fill in some blanks we could probably find the relationship. If you have any further information or need my family tree info please contact me at my e-mail: mjdann@clear.lakes.com Mike
