Illinois Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Whiteside/10918 Surname: O'Donovan, Donovan, Gordon, McCook ------------------------- The O'Donovans (or Donovan as they are now known as) fled to Canada from Ireland during the potato famine. I have tried to locate my ancesters and information about them, but have been unsuccessful at doing so. If anyone else has better luck, please contact me. . .unfortunatly, I am not able to name the oldest member of our family. . .therefore any possible links would be appreciated.
