Looking for any information on the ancestry of John O'CONNOR and Nancy BURKE. I believe they were married in the 1820's in Galway as 2 of their 6 children's death information state they were born in Galway, but I have no idea where in Galway. We think John O'Connor came to Galway from French Park, County Rosscommon as information passed down was that was where the O'Connor's came from. Our only clue as to where in Galway is a picture taken by San Francisco descendant John C. O'Connor in 1908 only labeled "Ballygar," which is not far from the Rosscommon border. However, I do not know what Civil Parish, Barony, PLU or Diocese Ballygar is in, so checking information is difficult. John and Nancy (Burke) O'Connor had 6 known children: (1)Julia, the first to come to the US, married Patrick Collins and resided in New Haven, CT, no surviving descendants, (2) John Burke O'Connor, arrived in USA 1860, lived in CT, NV and San Francisco, age has varied in the US records giving birth from 1830-1838, mar. Maria Jane MEEHAN, also of County Galway, 1872 in Nevada, has descendants (3) William O'Connor, may have been in Hudson, New York, New Jersey and Los Angeles, had sons that died young, don't know if any children survived, (4) Dominic O'Connor, b abt 1841, lived in CT, AZ and Los Angeles, d before 1910, mar. Fannie McLaughlin, may have surviving descendants through his daughter Eileen and son Joseph, (5)Patrick O'Connor, lived in New York City, mar in England, had Julia, John and Willie and it is unknown if there are descendants (6) James O'Connor, b abt 1829, d 1882 Hudson City, New York, mar Mary Cosgrif, had a daughter Anna and a son that could have descendants. Nancy BURKE had a brother, unknown name, but his daughter and 3 sons came to the USA. They were Julia Burke, b 1842 in Ireland, mar M. Clark in Louisiana, lived in Cairo, Illinois, has descendants; Thomas Burke, unknown hometown in the US, but he was here; Richard Burke, b abt 1850 in Ireland, mar. Margaret, lived in Missouri and Kansas, had 4 known sons; Patrick Burke, he was in Missouri in 1885, not known if he had descendants. Would really like to find where in Galway this family came from and would love to find any other descendants of the O'Connor-Burke union. Thanks, Helen O'Connor Park City, UT, formerly SF Bay Area husband is a descendant of John Burke O'Connor
