Welcome to my first blog. After inheriting some old pictures, I wanted to learn about the lives of those who came before me, and became fascinated by Agnes Bettie Kenney Burgan, from my mother's side of the family. She was born in Ireland, and moved to America with her parents between 1855-1860. Agnes married into a landowning family, and raised her 3 children in the farmlands bordering Northeast Baltimore. Eventually they moved to Homestead, Baltimore's first planned suburb, and established a home that lasted another 70 years.
I plan on using this blog to share how she touched the lives of her family, and those that would follow her. In doing so, I will analyze both items that I have inherited, and information available to me in various locations in the Baltimore area.
