Hello Everyone,
This time around I
have almost nothing to put into this issue.
My scanner is down so I can't do the
scanning from Wagon Ruts West. I'm still
waiting for the volunteers to send the
Keeney Updates they have promised to do.
The computer has had problems and I wound-up having to do a complete reformat, doing this means that I lost everything I had on the drive, including the mailing list for this newsletter at least I had printed the list out so I finally got it back on the computer, after reinstalling Windows 98 and running it for awhile shutdown & startup problems came into being so I installed XP Home and have only had very minor problems with it since then (like getting to know where to look for things, that are not in the same place as they were in 98). Anyway things are working fairly well for now.
My sister Laura got married Saturday 15 March 2003 and is now Mrs. Laura Hamburg, which in a way is kind of funny since one of her childhood friends was Laura Hamburg, who is one of her husbands cousins.
04 July 2003 It's my dads 80th birthday and Laura had a barbecue & birthday party for him. I've included 2 pix in the newsletter, one a family group shot & one of the cake. Click here.
BTW I've finally reposted all the back issues of KFG. If anyone notices a problem with any of them let me know so I can try to fix it.
I still need you to send in family stories and information in order to make this newsletter something of interest to all.

Blanche Keeney Stephens, 77, of Vernon, was granted peace after
a long fight with leukemia on Tuesday, (June 24, 2003) at Hartford
Hospital. Born on May 3, 1926 in Fresno, CA, daughter of the late
Edward Milton Keeney and Esther (Stroud) Hopper. Blanche grew up
in Fresno and graduated from Roosevelt High School Class of 1943.
After living in Los Angeles, CA most of her life and working for
the Pacific Telephone Company, she moved to Connecticut to be near
her granddaughters. She was completely devoted to and extremely
proud of her granddaughters' talents and successes. She was a
published poet who had been recognized in "Who's Who in Poetry
1978". Blanche was a family historian and genealogist whose
research has been published. She also served as a consultant for
other books and countless genealogists across the country. Her
other interests were bird watching, needlework, a love of the
outdoors, and her favorite four-footed friend, Arthur. She is
survived by her daughter and favorite son-in-law, Julia Stephens
McNabb and William Robert McNabb of Tolland. She was the beloved "Meemaw"
to her two granddaughters, Jennifer Julia Guerard and Ashley
Linnea Moir. She is also survived by her two sisters, Helen Noyes
of Fresno, CA, and Doris Vance of Bishop, CA; and her step-sister,
Velma Funk of Downey, CA. Blanche was predeceased by her former
husband, Ernest C. Stephens of Victorville, CA. She will be
greatly missed by all her friends and family. The family would
like to express special thanks and gratitude to the amazing
doctors, nurses, and aides at Hartford Hospital, CB5. Their
unmatched care and tenderness will never be forgotten. The funeral
service will be held at 10 a.m., Saturday, June 28, at the Tolland
Memorial Funeral Home, 375 Merrow Road (Rte. 195), Tolland,
officiated by The Reverend Steven L. Thayer of the Calvary
Presbyterian Church of Enfield. There will be no calling hours. A
private interment will follow at Valley Falls Cemetery in Vernon.

I am looking for information about Michael Keeney b1789 in the
Berks Co, PA area. I have a lead that his father was Peter Kiene
b abt 1768, but not confirmed yet. Michael married a woman named
Catherine (Stump?), and had 2 sons, William, and Ephraim, and a
daughter, Catherine. I am researching my wife's and now our
daughter's lineage and it is solidly rooted in Berks Co., PA!!
Any additional information would help a lot. thank you. Mike

Genetic Genealogy
DNA SURNAME PROJECT
CANNEY CANNY
KEANEY KEENEY KENNA KENNEY KENNY KINNE KINNEY KINNIE KINNY
McKENNA McKENNEY McKINNEY
& Other Variations
====================================================
A DNA surname project has been established
for Keeney, Kinney and variations. This is the beginning of a
long-term, international project to develop a DNA database for all
researchers interested in these surnames. All males with the Keeney
surname - or any of the other spelling variations - are invited to
participate. The study involves testing a portion of the Y
chromosome. This chromosome remains relatively unchanged for
hundreds of years as it passes from father to son. Only males have
the Y chromosome but female family historians are able to
participate by submitting DNA from a male family member with the
surname (father, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, etc.).
By comparing your test results (a series of numbers) with others in
the project, you can determine with a high degree of probability if
you share a common ancestor (but not who that ancestor is). Testing
is used in conjunction with traditional genealogy and participants
are often able to focus their research efforts after testing. For
example, testing could reveal if all the southern Keeney lines are
related to one another, and/or to the northern Keeney lines.
Eventually the study will establish DNA "signatures" for different
lines - such as the "Dutch" line, the Henry Kinne of MA line,
Scottish lines, Irish lines, etc. DNA results, including patterns
that have emerged to date, can be viewed at the Participants ~
Results link at the project website.
The cost is $99 or $169 (plus mailing fee) depending on which test
you choose. This is a special group rate; the project administrator
is a volunteer and receives no compensation. You can order the test
online, take it at home, and return it directly to the testing
company. It is not a blood test, not a paternity test, not a
forensic (crime) test, does not uniquely identify you, and reveals
nothing about health matters.
Genetic genealogy is a new, fascinating, and complicated subject. If
you are interested in learning more, start with the Frequently Asked
Questions link at the project website. If you have additional
questions, or are interested in participating now, email the group
project administrator.
