Surnames: O'Brien Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2RB.2ACE/8309 Message Board Post: I am searching for any information regarding the Irish Counties and Parishes of early settlers in the Town of Madrid (which at that time included the Town of Waddington). Immigrants tended to relocate to areas with other family and/or Parish members. I am particularly interested in Richard and Mary O'Brien who settled in Madrid before 1830 and John O'Brien (not a relative) who settled in Madrid before 1835. But, am looking for anyone who has been able to establish the Irish location of their immigrant family members. Please tell me where in Ireland your family originated. Thanks for any info.
