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!

Some folks say his dad was Thomas, but how can I be sure. Neal had a son named Alanson of which whose line I belong. Thanks in advance for your help! Sincere thanks, Tami
