Note;
I grew up only knowing d,e,f.in Kelman Rd Kelston,Auckland.
Last seen in 1972. Family's have lost contact since.
1,2,of my Aunties I have never meet.
4,used to come down from Auckland with 3, to visit their brother.
This has lead me away from the name Scanlan I know but perhaps we may join Via Uncle Bill's line whom I last saw for the last time late in 1972.
His son George is a talent Scott for an American Football team I believe?.If you can help here is my e-mail:

Hi Richard, I just posted a reply to your note in my Scanlon Journal.
As a regular visitor to Ireland I have a number of sites showing the breathtaking views of the country, Co Kerry is lovely...cheers Summers
Thank you Summers76.
One family has made contact with me,their father was an elder cousin whom I had never meet, sadly he has since past on.
It's his younger siblings that I'am hoping to catch one day.
cheers Kawhio
