Hi, I recently obtained a copy of the death record of my great grandfather, Patrick J. O'Connell who died in Newark, NJ in 1929. Patrick's Father was also Patrick J. O'Connell and his mother was Mary Donegan. Patrick, the younger, was born between 1853 and 1861, most likely 1856. So, I'm looking for a marriage record of Patrick J. O'Connell and Mary Donegan between, say, 1835 and 1861. Family lore has it that this family was from Cork, I don't know if that's the city or the county. Family stories also claim that there's a distant connection to Daniel O'Connell, the Liberator. My great grandfather emigrated to the USA about 1864. He married Frederica Spring, from Limerick, in Jersey City, New Jersey in the early 1880's and raised a family in Newark. I've loaded a gedcom file concerning this family onto RootsWeb's WorldConnect. It's name is oconldunl and can be found at _http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=oconldunl&I11.x=43&I11.y=3_ (http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=oconldunl&I11.x=43&I11.y=3) . Thanks, John F
