Over many years - and many, many hours - Anita has painstakingly collected and catalogued information about the Keenan family.  Fortunately someone put me in touch with her several years ago. We have corresponded on many occasions since and met three times.  She has willingly and generously supplied me with handwritten family trees, copies of birth, death and marriage certificates, copies of photographs, and other information, without which I could not have started on this adventure or assembled much of the information recorded on this site. She recently (2008) helped Brian Keenan identify persons appearing in his photo collection. Anita is also the driving force behind the annual Keenan Family Reunions which take place in Sydney in October.
