Joan, Do you know anything about John O'Donnell(dob where-parents etc). Who if you know were Cecila's parents-sibblings. I'm asking because I have McCool in Boston, and am trying to find if theres any connection since most of the given names seem to match. My grandmother was an O'Donnell from Co Donegal, with cousins named O"Donnell and Doherty in Co Cork, also her mothers maiiden name was Doherty. Ceila Doherty too, but she and her family resided in(after immig) the mid west. barb
