When I was doing my research I focused on who I knew was related. I've heard that my James O'Rourke may have had 1 or 2 relatives from Ireland also living in Bridgeport - they could have been cousins from Ireland. > > I remember calling some O'Rourkes living in Bridgeport about 7 years ago - to see if we were related. I remember one older lady who said she had a family tree chart on her branch of the O'Rourkes. When I told her who my O'Rourke ancestors were she said that we weren't related. She was not interested in continuing the conversation after she believed we were not related. There may be some O'Rourke descendants still living in the Bridgeport area who have family tree charts. > > I live in Orange County, New York, which is about 75 miles north of New York City.
