Hi Leigh, Anastasia when she died must have been in her 70s also so let's keep digging and we might find a link later. She was the wife of Owen Connick. Thanks for your input.

I can only say there is a possibility. I know nothing of Nicholas nor his family prior to immigrating to the US other than the information I already provided. However, the name Anastasia does appear with my O'Neill's (Nicholas' grandchildren). Though I am not sure if it is just coincidence due to the name being in fashion during that time or there is a link. Nicholas died somewhere between 1850 and 1860 as he disappears off of the census. He was rather advanced in age (70+ years). -Leigh ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Le Garignon" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, July 08, 2007 10:34 AM Subject: Re: [IRL-WEXFORD] Nicholas O'Neill and family Hi there, my ggfather's mother (who died in the 1850s or 1860s) was Anastasia Emelia O'Neill from Kilbraney (Wexford).
