Hello Sheila - My gr-gr-grandfather, James Ryan, of Dromalta townland, Cappamore Parish Co Limerick, was an ardent supporter of Daniel O'Connell, according to family records, and visited him in prison in Dublin. Do you know whether any record was kept of Dan's visitors while incarcerated? Queries at the National Libary haven't gotten me anywhere. Thank you, Nancy Peregrine Sheila Taipale <sheiladay@cox.net> wrote: Hello O'Connell cousins! Here again is the website for "The O'Connell Family Tracts, 1, 2, & 3" by Basil Morgan O'Connell. These pamphlets record descendents of Daniel O'CONNELL, the Liberator, their marriages, children, etc. to about 1950. There is an index for each pamphlet which gives all the surnames of these relations. http://www.irish-cottage.net/oconnell/index.htm In addition, for a more detailed and complete history of his immediate family, read "The World of Mary O'Connell, 1778-1836, by Erin I. Bishop. She includes at least one child, if I remember correctly, who is not shown in the O'Connell Family Tracts. It is a fascinating study of social and domestic life in Ireland in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Good luck hunting - if you find you are related in any way, please email me off list, because you will probably be a cousin of mine! Daniel O'Connell was my grandfather's gr grandfather, and Mary O'Connell, of course, was his gr grandmother.
