In the period 1919 through 1921 Jared Sidney Torrance of Califiornia engaged J W Kernohan, a professional genealogist and local historian, to research Jared's origins in the Bann Valley. These are transcripts of the correspondence between them. The data that was found is in our data section.
With each transcript is a list of documents which seem to have been attached to the letter.
Many of these lists had become detached and some have probably been erroneously re-attached to the wrong letter before the documents fell into my hands!
