Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Hi Michelle,

The best way to speak to someone with these surnames is to go to GENFORUM for each surname.

As it happens, KEENE is my Paternal Grandmother's maiden name. Her parents came Ireland, and changed the name from Kane to Keene. The were not proud to be Irish, since the signs in NY shops all said "No Dogs, No Irish". This way they avoided being percieved as Irish.

The sites provided below for GENFORUM are of 2 varieties. The ones that have a SURNAME established, and the ones that do not, but do mention that surname when you search for the surname and the word GENFORUM.

You can also search for the Surname and word FAMILY to find more information, websites and places to discuss these names with other people.
