Hello Kerry and O'Connell cousins, All of you who are trying to find a link to the famous Daniel O'Connell might go to: http://www.irish-cottage.net/oconnell/index.htm That is a link to the House of Ireland in San Diego, California, USA which was kind enough to let me post the O'Connell Family Tracts 1, 2, 3 researched and organized by Basil Morgan O'Connell. These lists trace as many of the descendents of The Liberator as Basil O'Connell could locate. He did a remarkable job, but there are errors and omissions, and no names after about 1950. One of our cousins emailed me today that we can Google "O'Connell Family Tracts" and go to the Family History site of the Latter Day Saints in Utah, where there is a link to the Tracts. However, I looked at that site today, and it apparently only has the first Tract. It is an important Tract, but there are 2 more, which are not shown. In addition, it appears that they have listed a lot of information at that link about a totally unrelated family, which has nothing to do with the O'Connell's. I am a ggg granddaughter of the Liberator and have in my Family Tree Maker file close to 5,000 names, including all three of the O'Connell Family Tracts and as much as I could locate in Burke's Irish families. There are still many questions to be answered, but you can't go wrong by checking out the site shown above. Cheers and a Happy New Year (and hopefully a peaceful one) to all!
