More than a genealogy, Gertrude’s Family records the stories of the people who make up the family tree of Kearneys, O’Reillys, Dohertys and Crottys in Michigan. The family's Irish immigrant roots in Reed City, Dexter, and Ann Arbor date to the 1840s; but older than that are the roots of Gertrude Kearney's fourth great grandparents who were among the 200 German families who founded Lunenberg, Nova Scotia in 1752.
