ancestor: I am trying to find out if my great grandmother is 
a descendant.

comments: My mothers name is Valerie Courtney, her mothers name is Kathleen Ann Courtney, her mothers name is Dorothy Ann Courtney. My great grandmother Dorothy, died when I was 16 years old and resided in San Francisco. She told me her family had moved here from Ireland, and I do not have much information on how to find my ancestry. If you can offer any guidance, I keep getting lead to sites with this name....Please advise. And thank you!
