I can help you with some information, and may be able to put you in contact with others who can provide more information on the Connollys. I've been researching my own O'Heren family line for several years. Ruth Connolly (wife of Philip) was an O'Heren. I've recently (over the past four years or so) connected with several of my own "cousins" who live right there in the general area and they have been wonderful about sending information, photographs, etc. One cousin recently notinced that Ned Connolly had passed away and read about it soon enough to attend the funeral. There she made contact with Ned's daughter, who is also interested in genealogy. We have been in email contact with one another. Email me directly, and I'll pass on what information I have that you might be interested in. Hope to hear from you soon, Heather airplane@foxinternet.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janine Crandell" <manderly@bitwiser.com> To: <ILCHRIST-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 15, 2003 9:12 AM Subject: [ILCHRIST] Connollys and Wondroks > Hi Everyone, > > I am reserching the Connollys who lived in Taylorville and owned the > Connolly-McClure Funeral home in Taylorville.
