    3. It is time to wake everyone up! How about a roll call. Since we are 50 strong, how about everyone putting up what O'Connor/Connors you are researching. I will start it off with mine. I have a large family of O'Connor/Connors who came over from Doon parish between 1837 and 1870. They all settled in Troy NY (across the Hudson River from Albany). Doon parish is located in both county Limerick and county Tipperary but records are in Limerick which led to some confusion for me, since my records have them from Tipperary. The Griffiths Valuation have them from Cullenagh which I haven't found on any maps or when searching on line for townlands. I would guess it is probably in Tipperary. I have records that show that my grandfather's father was James O'Connor b ca 1849. I believe his father was Timothy O'Connor married to Catherine (good possibility of being a Ryan). Timothy was born 1810 and came to Troy in 1864 with James. Timothy's death certificate shows his parents as Bryan O'Connor and Ann Gallagher. Some of Timothy's brothers/cousins who also settled in Troy are: Redmund, William, Patrick, William, Edward and Winifred (sister/cousin). They were all from Doon and migrated from 1837 to 1870. I have currently orderd both the marriage cert for Timothy and Catherine and the baptismal for James from the Doon parish to validify my research. Looking for connections.
