Hi Al,
 
I don't have letters like Barb Dowling, but while awake in the night I 
realized I have a few photos that truly exemplify our project. (I got them 
from a Balfe descendant in New York.)
 
Below is the Fitzwilliam emigration notice for Thomas Balfe and Sally Kenny, 
who settled in Lombardy (S. Elmsley) near the Poonamalie Lock.
 
Attached is Sarah/Sally Kenny. Isn't she a beauty?? Also attached is half 
the wedding photo of Thomas Balfe Jr. and Ann Hourigan. Her father, Michael, 
and his brother, worked on the Rideau Canal.
 
I have a picture of the daughters of Thomas and Sally. Three of them married 
into Canal workers' families, as did another son, Michael. I'm searching for 
that photo now.
