My name is Tracey and I live on the Gold Coast in QLD, Australia.
I would not say I am a FAN of Shannen's as such, but I admire her talents. That is not meant to be a slight against avid fans at all.
My reason for joining is that I believe that we (Shannen and I) are long lost relatives. I too am a Doherty and since the death of my father, I have been checking out the ancestry and it appears that her great grandfather and my great grandfather were brothers; hers emigrating to the US and mine emigrating to Australia. What is interesting to note as well is our genealogy goes all the way back to Irish Royalty dating as far back as the 10th century.
I am posting this here on the off chance Shannen happens to peep in. If she is interested, I would be happy to share all of this information with her.
So Shannen if you are reading this, please feel free to PM me.
Thank you
Tracey Doherty.
