Hi guys,

Are you looking for help with the Breslin family tree or just his military career ?

Hi Taral i have already done quite a bit on the Breslin family tree but i would be interested in viewing any info you have. I am really interested in Edmund's military career. I have an overview of the various roles he played but would love to see a copy of his military history. Are you related to the Breslins?. My mother was Mary Breslin from Derry. Look forward to a reply, are you directly related to Edmund (Ned)

Gerry

Hi Gerry,

No, I'm not related at all I'm afraid. I'm just someone who like to help people with their family trees !

Have you tried posting on this site

forum

They often mention 'The Squad'

Ned is mentioned in a few witness statements on the Bureau of Military History website - see Breslin

Hi gerrycass  i'm part of the Breslin clan as well, in Derry also. Grew up in Dunree gdns  My Grandfather (John) was Ned's brother too.  Have found all your digging about family tree etc when I googled Edmund's name.  Great work your doing & very interesting. Little talk about Edmund in our family just knew the basics but would like also to know where he ended up living in Ireland Reading on a different website it's believed he married a sister of somebody he was supposed to have executed (don't no if this is true or not) but have discovered he is buried in Balgriffin cemetery near Dublin airport.    http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=breslin&GSfn=ned&GSiman=1&GScid=2305089&GRid=37159549&

Maybe you've already got this info and if you want to send a private msg feel free. I've just registered.

Great to hear from you Gerry. I'm going to work shortly but will ring you tomorrow after lunch if that suits. Hope I can tie in all the loose ends.
