Hello Everyone, I am a newcomer to this list . I am from Austrlia and my OCONNORS come from CORK,IRELAND. My great grandparents were MARY ANN PERDON(PERDEAUX) and MICHAEL OCONNOR. Their daughter MARY ANN THERESA OCONNOR b.1858, BANDON, CORK was my grandmother. She migranted to Australia and married JOHN GAMBLE b. 1858, Australia. She has many descendants in Australia but it would be wonderful to trace her ancestry back further in IRELAND and to perhaps make contact with family links there or in other parts of the world. The town of BALLYNEEN in CORK seems to have some special significance for her as her home in Australia was given that name. I think BALLYNEEN is not from from BANDON where she was born. I am also researching these other names in IRELAND: MCCORMACK, GUILFOYLE, PERDEAUX, PERDON,MCGRATH Hope to hear from you, Mary from Australia,
