Thought this would be great for your next issue.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The limbs that move, the eyes that see,
These are not entirely me;
Dead men and women helped to shape
The mold which I do not escape;
The words I speak, my written line,
These are not uniquely mine.
For in my heart and in my will
Old ancestors are warring still,
Celt, Roman, Saxon, and all the dead
>From whose rich blood my veins are fed,
In aspect, gesture, voices, tone,
Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone;
In fields they tilled I plow the sod,
I walk the mountain paths they trod;
And round my daily steps arise
The good and bad of those I comprise.

          ~ By English poet Richard Rolle,

             written over 600 years ago

Hey Dan,

I was just looking over the Keeney Links you have on your site.  I came to the Packie Keeney link and just had to laugh.  Packie is a really great guy and Bill and I have been on his radio show.  Packie's brother Kieran is our son's (conner) godfather.   Maybe when we finally settle in I will found the copy of the radio show and send you a copy.

Keeneys in Michigan

Posted by Karyl Keeney Hubbard on August 09, 1999 at 12:33:19:

All those Keeneys and I can't establish a connection! My grandfather, Walter Lincoln, was the son of Daniel. Walter was born in Arcola IL. Daniel was supposedly born in Canada. The family, Daniel and Rhoda (White) Keeney and four children lived in the Grand Rapids area. That's as far as I get. Daniels parents were? Possibly Franklin (born NY according to the MI 1850 census) and Calista. Anyone able to connect this line? I'd love information! Can pretty well document from Daniel and Rhoda down, if anyone wants information.

My Keeney line

Posted by Karen Keeney McBride on August 08, 1999 at 02:22:39:

I am trying to make a link with my Keeney line. My great grandfather was Edwin Ellsworth Keeney b. 05Jan1873 in Linden,WI. His father was William Ebenezer Keeney b.02Sep1828 in Ogdensburg,NY. His father was Daniel Keeney b.29Dec1799 in Ogdensburg,NY. His father was Ebenezer Keeney born in Glastonbury,CN. He was married to Lois Lock. This is as far as I can get. I think I know where they came from but can't prove it. Anyone have any info on this they would like to share?
