i noticed you have a bridget burke in your family tree connected to martin kirwan i am told the john kirwan's father was probably named michael since his first bron son was named michael john was born about 1841 in tipperary thurles can you help me to see if we are connected i am trying to find john's parents nad sibling aunts uncles etc
