Very interested in your Patrick Donovan. My Johanna's father was Patrick Donovan. She married James POWER in 1858 in Springfield, IL. I do not know where PAtrick lived at this time. Drop a line if any of this sounds familiar. Thanks Dianne
Was wondering what your results were with the Dononvan brothers. I am looking for Patrick Donovan who was the father to Johnna who married James POWER
All I know about Jeremiah Donovan was that he was From county Cork, Ireland and came to the US in about 1881 or 1882 with his wife Julia and 2 maybe 3 children. They lived in Batavia and Aurora, ILL.
