I am busy trying to put together a book on the O'CONNOR/CONNORS/CONNOR families in South Africa. Whilst researching in the archives here I came across a couple of O'CONNORs who came to South Africa from the USA. There was a James Francis O'CONNOR born 16th January 1908 in Tarrytown, New York, USA. There was also a Mary O'Connor who was born about 1917 in Bayonne, New Jersey, USA. (This may be incorrect and she may have been born in Annaghmore, Killarney as there was a previous record of a Mary who was also born about 1917 and who was a nun.) I think Mary was a Dominican nun. She gave the name of Desmond O'CONNOR who was already in Soputh Africa There was also a Michael O'Connor who was born in Killarney, Ireland and who came here from the USA. He was about 45 in 1934 and his wife was Annie. They came here from New York and they may have been Mary's parents. Do these names/families ring any bells with anybody? Seasons greetings to all on the list Kind regards Mike Michael O'Connor Orchid Grower and Genealogist Researching the names O'Connor/Connor/Connors Pietermaritzburg South Africa
