KENNEDY posted by Callie Kennedy Jeffres on Sunday, May 26, 2002

I am trying to locate information on my grandmother, Callie Danls KENNEDY. My family believes she was born on January 17, 1881 in or around the area of Wilmington, North Carolina. The spelling of her maiden name seems odd, but that is the spelling I was given from a family member. I would be interested in getting the names of any cemeteries in or around the Wilmington area or any information that may help me locate information on her and her family. If you can offer assistance, I would certainly be grateful. Thank you in advance for any consideration. Sincerely,
