Hello List, Just thought I would re-subscribe and mention that I am seeking information on Ann O'Connor...born in Ireland....married Charles Davison on 2 Feb 1862. They lived in Brooklyn, NY in 1880...might have lived in Long Island City also but have only found them on Census 1880 in Brooklyn,NY. Their children were born in New York: Sarah, Daniel, RoseAnn, Margaret and John. Sarah married Thomas J. Murphy and lived for a time in LIC, NY....they had 4 children, 3 died as young babies or toddlers...one survived...my grandmother Florence Murphy Daniel married Kate Hennessey: they had Charles, Annie, Rose and John J.and lived near or in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, NY RoseAnn married Frank(?) Reardon/Riordan Margaret married Richard Cassin Unknown what happened to John Will appreciate any information on these families Joanie

Great newspaper site. 1700's to late 1800's, African American newspapers. Some Connor entries, did not check for other spellings. I'm back home now. Made it to the Sutro Library in SanFancisco and Sutro/California History Library in Sacramento, Coalifornia. Some much info, so little time. I found quite a bit of information on my O'Connor line and Ex's line using the city directories they had there. Even got a chance to flip through a film of voter registrations and located Grandfather O'Connor and his wife. I'll have to follow up to see if there is a chance of getting copies of her actually application. Then Maybe I can locate naturalzation papers on her. Considering the lack of time I had there I'm happer with the results. I'll have to concentrate on getting to the National Archives in San Francisco next trip, which should be mid March to deliver puppies.

Hello to all on the O'Connor list My name is Barry and I am hoping someone can help with my research on my g-g-g-grandmother, Catherine Connors. The only clues I can find on her are:- She married Michael Maguire some time in the 1920's. They had 9 children between 1828 and 1845, 4 of which migrated to Australia. They leased 13 acres of land on Ballinderry Estate, near the town of Moate in the county of WestMeath, Ireland between 1845 and 1859. She is buried in Mount Temple Cemetary in the parish of Rosemount, but I have not been able to Identfy where the parish of Rosemount is. She died about 1864. Her parents may have been Michael Connors and Mary Casey, but this is unconfirmed. This is all I have found out about her at this stage although I have quite alot of information on her children and her decendants. Any clues would be very much apprecited. Thank you from a warm summer evening in Wodonga, Australia. I can be contacted at <[email protected]>

This website is fun. I found directions to a city that isn't even in my Rand- McNalley road atlas. It gives visual as well as written directions, and gives mileage to each turning point. Looks like it goes into Canada but I didn't try punching in those cities. I only filled out the city and state fields, so even just city names might work as long as they are not too common. http://www.autoconnect.com/resource/md_directions

Go to this address for roll numbers on Ellis Island and Castle Garden in NY, etc. http://enteract.com/~lfarber/M237.html Hope you find it helpful. Martin+

I am sure that any records from the following were evidentually sent to Ellis Island. The predecessor to Ellis Island: "Castle Garden Information Located at Southern tip of Manhattan Originally was an island 200 feet off the mainland Built as fortress (1808-1811) to prepare for war with England After War of 1812, named Castle Clinton in honor of DeWitt Clinton Renamed Castle Garden in 1824 3 August 1855 (now joined to the Battery) became immigration center Immigration handled by State of New York until 1875 Immigration handled jointly by state and federal authorities until1890 New York State accused of politicizing the running of Castle Garden US government ended arrangement with State of New York Castle Garden closed 18 April, 1890 Over 8 million immigrants were processed at Castle Garden Today, Castle Garden is a national landmark Inside is acircular courtyard and a small museum Information from Usenet posting to soc.genealogy.jewish, 24 Jan., 1997 by J. Micheal Eisner" Hope this is helpful to all. Martin+

I found mention of similar names to what you posted in another publication titled IRELAND IN THE MIDDLE AGES, C. 1300. There wasn't a "Rushfin" but there was RUSH, County Dublin Map name: Ros Eo Modern Irish Name: An Ros Type: Manor or village Meaning: 'the headland' When looking for "Innishfin" I found INISHBOFIN, County Galway Map name: Inis bo Finne Source: Joyce First Record: Inis bo Finde Source: Bede Modern Irish Name: Inis Bo Finne Type: Celtic religious foundation Meaning: "inis 'island' of the 'white cow'" - in legend there was a white cow which appeared at certain times over the waters of a lake on the island. Just hazarding a guess, maybe the "bo" stands for "cow". If you left out the "bo", maybe Inishfin means 'white island'? That's an uneducated deduction!!!!!

In a message dated 1/16/99 9:13:18 PM Pacific Standard Time, [email protected] writes: << An Irishman walks into a bar in Dublin, orders three pints of Guinness and sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more. The bartender asks him, "You know, a pint goes flat after I draw it; it would taste better if you bought one at a time." The Irishman replies, "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in America, the other in Australia, and I'm here in Dublin. When we all left home, we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the day when we drank together." The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there. The Irishman becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way: He orders three pints and drinks them in turn. One day, he comes in and orders two pints. All the other regulars notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, "I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your great loss." The Irishman looks confused for a moment, then a light dawns in his eye and he laughs. "Oh, no," he says, "everyone's fine. I've just quit drinking." >>

I am trying to find some information about either of the following people: Edward O'Connor born someplace in County Cork, Ireland, approximately 1775 and, his wife: Catherine Donovan also said to have been born in County Cork, Ireland, probably around the same time. They had a son, Charles O'Connor said to have been born approximately 1819 in County Cork, Ireland. He is reported to have married a Johanna Kennelly on February 5, 1856 in Hastings, Ontario, Canada. He is further reported to have died in 1874 also in Hastings, Ontario, Canada. Amongst other children they had a son Jeremiah Joseph O'Connor, born on January 19.1866 in Seymour Township, died, January 15, 1932 in Rochester, New York. Married a Hanorah O'Grady. Any Information about Edward and Catherine would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, J. Patrick O'Connor P.S. the O'Connor name in the late 1700's or early 1800's could have been spelled many different ways.
