Surnames: O'Hale Classification: Lookup Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wg.2ADE/1105.3 Message Board Post: My father's family O'Hale currently lives in Chicago Illinois. I believe that my Great Grandfather (Francis or Frank O'Hale) originally came from Ireland to Canada and was then marries in Prair du Sheen Illinois, where my Grandfather Harry Thomas O'Hale was born. If you think any of this is related to your family (given the Illinois proximity and the realtive scarcity of O'Hale's), please let me know and I will contact my Aunt who has a bit more of the family history. Best Regards.
