favorite Irish poet. I live in Nova Scotia, Canada but most of my
family is in New York and Connecticut. I think the Gillen family
that I come from is from Ireland. My great grandfather was Thomas
Gillen and he was born in Brooklyn, NY. He married Delia Kerwin
who was from England and came to the US when she was 3 yrs old.
Her father was a colonel in the English army. Thomas was a sgt on
the Brooklyn police force.
