Surnames: durkin, O'connor, Gray Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hBU.2ACEB/340 Message Board Post: My great grandfather was Walter Durkin born in Ireland in May 1844. He was naturalized aUS citizen 10/23/1872 in Syracuse NY. He married Elizabeth Bridget (1852 Ballyhaderren), 4/24/1893 in Syracuse NY. Her parents were James O'Connor(1829)and Mary Gray(1832 in Roscommon). This is as far as we have been able to go. Has anyone run across Walter in their search for Durkins? Anything you can pass on will be appreciated. Thank you Mary Z. (maryzad@aol.com)
