I have done some research on the family--all come from Cork. I have a little information on John Collins and John McCarty, mostly from US records, but I do know they come from Cork. Now Thomas Lorden is one that is hard to find. I do know that he came from Cork (I think Bandon area) and was born around 1839. Came over to USA in 1850's through Baltimore and somehow landed in Hartland, Ill and married Mary McCarty. I have their entire family in US, but no records show where he came from in Cork.

Hi Chris - I'm sure you've already checked out this website: http://www.bandon-genealogy.com/ Lots of LORDAN/LORDENs there. As you know, naming patterns may help to narrow things down as well.
