Gathering of Reidys - misc

Over the years, users of this page have sent me a bit of information - trivia some would call it - on various Reidy records, etc. I've been sort of keeping these in case they ever came in handy but perhaps a better use would be to list them here. So I'm going to try that and see if it works. If you have a useful bit of Reidy information, please sent it along. Also if you have sent me something you think should be here, I probably lost it over the years so remind me and send it again. I'm not particularly interested in something specifically tied to your line as I figure that will be covered in broad outline in the summaries and you can share details with someone who expessed interest. But if you think you have something that might be of general interest or just useful to someone, send it along.

Tim Reidy asked : (email: wireelectricREMOVE@adelphia.net) There are a fair amount of Reidy families in Elmira & Chemung County, New York. When & where in Ireland did they come from? our family came from Tullycrine, County Clare approx 1900.

From Di Randell (email:dikerleyREMOVE@optusnet.com.au )
While searching another John MEADE in Gympie, Queensland, Australia, Di ran across this REIDY family and sent the information here in hopes it might help someone. Di has Bridget's death certificate.
