Editor's note

Hi Everyone ,

It's almost February, (actually it's Christmas day as I start this, and I just had two people who signed up for the newsletter today one by e-mail [E. G.] and the other {H. L.} while I was at the family Christmas gathering with my sister's children & my dad).

It usually takes about a month of editing to come up with enough data to put one of these newsletters together, but of course I don't work on it everyday.

Well it's New Years day & so far I've not found any problems on the y2k hype!

Well almost no problems, I did find 2 minor ones on the site, according to the Guestbook & the BBS the year is 19100.

The server was down starting on the 28th of December 1999, until 01 January 2000, down again on 03 January 2000,  the hosting company claims this is due to a $2,000,000.00 upgrade, so I extend my apologies to all who could not reach the site on these dates.

~Dan

: Patrick, I believe I am your cousin Kevin. I am the son of Eddie Keeney, your Mother's brother. My sister Nora and I were in Ireland in November and although we didn't have the opportunity to meet you, we were very blessed to meet Packie, Goretti, James, Charles and Kieran Keeney. We stopped by your brothers' homes (Aemon and Peter Oliver) but neither of them were home at the time of our visits. We had a grand time and look forward to the next trip. I live in San Diego California. My Father and Mother are alive and doing well in Florida. I have 2 brothers (Father Chalres Patrick and Captain Brendan - NYPD) My sisters Mary, Nora, Bernadette and Julia are all married and have kids of their own....Drop a line sometime, it would be nice to hear from you. God Bless, Kevin
: Just found this list, and wanted to inquire whether there are any subscribers connected to the Keeneys of Ardara, Co. Donegal. My paternal grandmother (Annie) Alice Mc Nelis (nee Keeney), 1906-1996, lived her entire life in Ardara, she was the daughter of Charlie Keeney (1870-1954) and Mary Mc Guiness.

Hello Dan:

My name is Dan Smith.  My 30th High School Reunion, Fairborn High School (class of '70) in Fairborn OH, is coming up this year and I was thinking of  some of my classmates.  A good friend was Beth Keeney; in fact, we attended the Senior Prom together.  Just wondering if you could provide any information such as an email address or if she would like to email me at
codansmith@hotmail.com.  Thank you.

Subject: A Keeney Question

Hey Dan,

I have been meaning to email you about this and I keep forgetting.  Did you know that there is a Helen Keeney buried in the tomb of Robert E. Lee?  If you did know, do you know how she is related to the family? She was married to his grandson George Bolling Lee.   The last time I was there (which was about 5 years ago)  All I could find out was they believed she was from California.

The other thing I have been meaning to tell you is I have a copy of the archaeological dig at Fort Arbuckle in 1992.  Fort Arbuckle is the fort that was in walking distance to the Keeney Cabin in West Virginia.  The one that Michael Keeney lived in .  Bill and I met Dan Clay the farmer that owns the cabin and the site where the fort is.   He took us to the cabin and to the site of the fort.  He then gave us the copy of the dig.

Well I need to run

Carol

Keeney Family Bassinet

Posted by Susanne Greenman on January 02, 19100 at 18:12:39:

I have an old wicker bassinet which was found in the basement of a home in Boulder Creek, California. The various babies' names are inscribed on the bottom of the bassinet: Barbara Keeney, born 9/19/1924
Patti Keeney, born 12/4/1926

I assume these two were sisters. The next babies seem to be the sister's children, surnamed Wiltz and Madigan: Ellen Witlz, born 5/30/1948
Mike Madigan, born 1/27/1949
Rob Wiltz, born 1/10/1951
Linda Madigan, born 5/2/1951
Dan Wiltz, born 10/26/1954
Will Wiltz, born 1/10/1957
Kevin Wiltz, born 12/18/1959
No geographical location for the families is given.

Reunions

The Keeney Reunion in Ireland

Carol Keeney has extended the deadline for the conformation until 15th of February 2000

and for receiving deposits until the 29th of February 2000

For the deposit just send her a check.   That way if she don't get enough people signed up she'll just send the check back to you.  The check WILL NOT be deposited unless plans are confirmed. Right now she has only had 5 people confirmed. That is a long way from 50.  She has had about 20 people send her emails with questions. She can extend the deposit deadline until the end of Feb.  If she don't get enough people signing up she will see what she can do for the people who do sign up.

Please note it takes approximately 7 to 10 days for airmail to arrive in Ireland so you'd need to send the deposit no later then 15 February 2000. Airmail cost is $ .60

Express mail takes 3 to 4 days. Express mail cost is $ 18.95


Does anybody know of any family Reunions? If so send information & I'll include it here.
