December Birthdays & Anniversaries

Welcome to December's "roll call" of those who came before me ~ a listing of the birthdays and anniversaries of my Keough & Murphy ancestors who were born or married during December.  I use a cutoff year of 1900 for privacy concerns. As you can see, Ireland, Newfoundland, Scotland, and the United States (Missouri, Nebraska, New York, and Washington) are represented.

Do we share any of the same ancestors? If so, I would love to hear from you and hear all about them.
