Hello: I'm seeking information re: Michael Henry Reardon (O'Riordain, O' Reardon), my gggrandfather, born about 1815 in Cork. I believe his father was also a Michael Reardon--and his mother may have been a Callahan. According to family lore he was one of the founders of the Young Ireland Party-and escaped to Nova Scotia around 1849 with a price of 5000 Pounds on his head, courtesy of the English Gov't. He was said to have attended Trinity College, Dublin, and was a ward and possibly a relative of Daniel O'Connell. He married Sarah Dyer, who may have been Dutch. It is possible that he was a Protestant, though he and his wife were buried in Catholic ground in Oshkosh, Wisc., in the 1870's. Any and all help much appreciated! Michael Haines
