I imagine that P. J. Kennedy and his sisters are the first generation of the Kennedys because they were the firsts Kennedys to born in America. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.59.203.111 ( talk) 11:39, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
I would like to suggest that the coat of arms be removed from this article for the following reasons: First, the Kennedy family is essentially an American family of primarily Irish and English descent. The United States government does not grant coats of arms and therefore U.S. citizens do not have coats of arms unless granted by a foreign government which is rare. The government's of England and Ireland and Scotland do not grant coats of arms to U.S. citizens who are not residents of those countries and in any case do not grant coats of arms to entire families. Therefore this is not the Kennedy family coat of arms since there is no such thing as a family coat of arms and therefore it is inappropriate to display on an article about the Kennedy family. The only Wikipedia article this coat of arms should be displayed in is the article written about the individual that this coat of arms has been granted to. Also no coat of arms should ever be displayed in an article of any kind unless it bears a caption stating the name of the individual that such coat of arms has been granted to and no such caption is included. The only occasion when a coat of arm should be displayed is if the individual the article is written about has been granted a coat of arms. There is no way to be more clear. This coat of arms does NOT belong in this article. Would the people who have access to editing this article please remove it. You can easily verify what I have said by looking up the correct usage of coats of arms in any book on the topic. I presume there is a Wikipedia article about the correct usage of a coat of arms and who has the right to display one and under what circumstances they should be displayed if one wants to verify what I have written here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.190.53.6 ( talk) 18:11, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
Is there really any proof of their descent from the Ó Cinnéide clan, or is it just based on last name? Based on this article, the founder of the American Kennedys was from working class, which slightly contradicts with the claimed royal origins. There should be serious research into this issue, otherwise such claims should be removed, in my opinion. Somewhat reminds of the Spencer family's genealogical claims, which have been debunked. For now, there appears to be no evidence of that the political Kennedy family had any connection to Irish gentry at least, to have a possibility of Irish royal descent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OlKob ( talk • contribs) 14:42, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
Recent edits caused me to look at that section - it's badly written and verges into trivia. How's this (as a starting point at least)?

Can someone add US Attorney General to the titles section? I would put it at #3. It is missing (RFK). Thanks! 205.221.125.163 ( talk) 14:48, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
Since Kathleen Kennedy was Marchioness of Hartington shouldn't that title also be in the section? or at least "Marchioness" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Unfriendnow ( talk • contribs) 18:25, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
Should we add that Caroline Kennedy is now Ambassador to Australia and Vicki Kennedy (second wife of Ted) is also now Ambassador to Austria? Unfriendnow ( talk) 21:47, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
