Hi Paula,
Thank you for your message. Unfortunately, I don't think there's a connection between our families. I know for certain that all my family members settled in Brooklyn, NY and, to my knowledge, no family members ever spelled the name "Kenney." My great grandfather, Patrick Kenny, came to the United States as an adult. He was married in Ireland, and his children William, Louis, and Alice were born and raised in Brooklyn.
A priest friend in Ireland, also a Kenny, tells me that Kenny is a very common name in County Roscommon, so there are undoubtedly many of us in search of common ancestors.
In the event that I discover any information that suggests a family relationship, I will contact you via the forum. In the meantime, I thank you again for your message and wish you all the best in your search. God bless you.
