Hello all, I’ve been a long time lurker, hoping for something that comes close to my lines, but as of yet, nothing on this list. So., Here is what I know.. James Joseph McConnell, b. abt 1893/4 Enniskillin (en?), Ireland. d. 1984, St. Petersburg, FL... He came to the USA in 1914 from Ireland. He settled in Brooklyn, N.Y. and served in the military during WWI, also was a chauffer prior to becoming a Brooklyn Cop (1921-1943) While in Brooklyn, he married Nora (Honora Donnelly A.K.A. Annie), then moved to Charlotte, N.C. Where his oldest daughter still lives. They had three children all born in Brooklyn, C(K)atherine b. abt. 1923, Henry b. 1925 & Paul b. 1928. (She is the only living child left & refuses to give any information about her parents or her family.) I know that when James came to the US, he came to stay with a brother, Patrick (who I also believe became a cop) at 126 Bridge St., Brooklyn, he had at least one other brother that remained in Ireland, Andrew who was in Derryleague, Macken, in 1914. James’s parents were Hugh McConnell & Mary (nee. Murphy) McConnell, no other information known. ANY help with this family, would be so much appreciated, I have been working on this line for 25 yrs.

RootsWeb is in the process of switching over to new upgraded list management software. For list subscribers, the changeover should be smooth. The changes primarily involve the administration tools that keep the list running behind the scenes. If all goes according to the schedule posted here: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/migrate_sched.html our list will be migrated to the new system on Thursday of this week. The list name is changing from MCCONNELL-L to just MCCONNELL. So you may subscribe or unsub by sending your request to: MCCONNELL-request@rootsweb.com with one exception. If you wish to subscribe in Digest mode you must send your subscribe request to MCCONNELL-D-request@rootsweb.com . You may also continue sending your requests as you always have--either will work. The word SUBSCRIBE or UNSUBSCRIBE must be included in the subject and may also be included in the message body. Digest subscribers will notice some changes to the list digests. New instructions will be added to the digests -- please read them. In addition, the digest volume and issue number may be different (out of sequence) from what you had been receiving. If your digests arrive in a different format than you are used to and you would like it changed, contact me privately at the list admin address: MCCONNELL-admin@rootsweb.com. Also, if you run into any unusual or confusing occurrences with mail from this list that could possibly be related to the changeover, let me know. If you use email headers to filter list mail to a special folder in your email program you may need to check whether your filters will need tweaking under the new system. If you previously subscribed to the list in both L and D modes using the same email address you will find that you are no longer subbed in Digest mode. The new software doesn't permit the same address to be subbed in both L and D modes. Therefore, if you wish to receive both modes, you will need to subscribe to the digests using a different email address. Please continue to send your queries, data, and responses to the list as usual. It is a great time to post a new query to try to break down those brick walls. Thanks! Joan, admin MCCONNELL-L@rootsweb.com

FM, There is a John McConnell, who is my ggg grandfather, that was born in 1799 we believe in Ireland. He had a daughter named Mary Anne McConnell who married a John Murrey. I do not know if I am spelling the Murrey name correctly. Just wondering if perhaps there would be a connection. John McConnell died in 1882 in Streetsville, Ontario.
