John, I am not in Canada, I'm in Florida. I have no idea where my Mary O'Connor came from in Ireland. The only thing I know is that she was born in December of 1852 in Ireland and came to the USA sometime before 1875. She also had a brother, William O'Connor born in 1863 living with the Mills family in the 1880 census in New York City. Hope this information helps.

I know the who and the where of my OConnor's and Connors back to the late seventeen hundreds. What I am looking for are all the others who left Ireland before 1990 and have disappeared from the family record. The fact you are in Canada does not rule your Mary OConnor out. I will see if we have a Mary in that time period. Do you know what county Mary came from? You said all your OConnor's came to Canada but you show Mary going to NY?

I am resarching O'Connor, Mills, Dauphinee and Young. My grandmother, Mary O'Connor was born in Ireland December 1852. I have no date for when she came to New York,NY. She married John Francis Mills (b. Jan 1852 ) abt 1875. Children were: Edward b. Jul 1877 Timothy b. Feb 1878 William b. Apr 1879 Ellen b. Aug 1882 John b. Jul 1883 Samuel b. 24 Oct 1887 ( My father ) Any information as to where in Ireland Mary O'Connor was born and grew up before coming to the USA would be greatly appreciated. Thank you John Mills

Hi John, I do have lots of inf (some from Pat) on my Canadian O'Connor family --- My Mary O'Connor married John Horan in Ontario. Certainly happy to share if you have questions about my family. Just thought that Pat has done this for some time and might be able to give you a lead.

Found a bit of information about the McClelland and Orr marriage. It appears that John B McClelland Jr born 1766 in Cumberland, PA married Rachel Orr. John was the brother of my 5th great grandmother Johanna McClelland. Don't know if this will be helpful for someone, hopefully it will be. Judy

Thank you!!!! I wondered if anyone was going to come up with the main reason so many people left Scotland to go to Ireland. Mine stayed a good many years in Ireland and raised a family before coming to the USA with all his adult children. One son came before his father and bought land in Washington DC. (Foggy Bottom) They must not have been to poor to be able to purchase land when they arrived here. If anyone is researching the sirname RUSK please contact me. Margie in MD

Can we move on. Researching Connors, OConnor, Histon, Kennealy, Heffernan, Foley, Palmer, deConde, Sugrue, Shackrow, Griffin, Shea and Keating

Cara, re: Co. Wicklow... Some Co. Carlow FLOOD's may have come from Wicklow. Please see if there are any, possibly with given names of Sylvester, Philip, Martin....and, well, the usual lineup of Patrick, Michael, etc.! I'm complete with my earliest Co. Carlow date of 1800. I appreciate your generosity. Gordon Flood

Cara.....Would any of your sourses be about Kilkenny Co?..My gr-gr-grandparents Samuel DOBBIN and Susanna WHITNEY were married in 1835 Kilkenny Co according to a film at the LDS Lib....That is ALL I have on them in Ireland...They came to the USA about 1848-49 ....Any help most appreciated..

Re your question about Irish & Scots marrying - quite possible. During the 16th to the 19th century, Donaghadee, Co. Down to Portpatrick, was the most popular route to Scotland as it was only 21 miles. Nori

My dad came from Ireland and he told me that most left because there was a potato famine. Many went to Scotland and England before they made enough money to come to America which was an established country. Canada/Australia were pretty rough and attracted few immigrants then. Nori
