I am researching my gr-gr-grandfather Sylvester Thomas CONNOLLY and his wife Mary Ann DEGNAN. They were supposed to have come from Galway. They immigrated in 1864 settling in Erie Co., PA. I have his naturalization, but the papers give me no information on his place of origin in Ireland. They came here with their son, Patrick P. Connolly b. 1863, Ireland. Their next child, Mary Ann b. 1866 was born "O" whatever that means. Maybe ocean??? Children born in US: Catherine Agnes b. 1868, Erie Co, PA Michael b. 1869, Erie Co., PA Ellen (twin) b. 1869, Erie Co., PA Martin b. 1870's James b. 1874 Elizabeth b. 1878, Beaver Co., PA I have only been able to trace Catherine and Elizabeth. They married GARVEY brothers in Beaver Co., PA. Any ideas where I might be able to look further? I haven't done any research in Ireland yet, but I did not feel that I knew enough to look there yet. Any suggestions would be very welcome.
