This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Donovan, Neill (O'Neill) Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/wJT.2ACEB/691.1.1 Message Board Post: No idea of James' year of birth - he is part of my 'brick wall'. Only documentary evidence I have that he existed is his daughter Julia's birth certificate (1885) and her marriage certificate certificate (1904). There has been talk in the past of Irish ancestry but as yet I have not been able to trace any connection.
