Hi all! I’m a newbie, both to this list and to genealogy research. I’m trying to expand on the research completed to date. My family, surname O’Neal, has been traced back to Ireland to Mary Neitz (b. Jan. 18 1776), married to an unknown O’Neal, mother of 10 children. One child, Chesley O’Neal (b. Jan. 5, 1814), came to South Carolina around 1829-1830 and married Sarah A. McGraw. Any information on the Neitz surname in Ireland, the marriage between Neitz/O’Neal, or tips on locating what part of Ireland the O’Neal family may have come from would be greatly appreciated. Surnames in this particular O’Neal tree includes Beatty, Boynton, Coleman, Lile, Mulvaney, Nottingham, Owens, Pettigrew, Sullivan, and others. Cheers!
