After much searching I was lucky enough to find my O'Connor family in Tipperary. Many still live there and my wife and I had the privilege of visiting the area 2 weeks ago and had a great reunion. My g.grandfather, William O'Connor left there during the famine and arrived in southern Wisconsin in 1855. What follows is the inscription on a headstone I observed during my visit. If this means anything to you, we are probably related. " erected by JERMIAH O'CONNOR Ballyvaden to the memory of his father JOHN O,CONNOR who died 5th Nov 1892 and his mother HANORA O,CONNOR died 1 Oct. 1911 also the above JEREMIAH who died 10 Sept. 1951 and his wife ALICE died 30 Oct-1977 Aged 101 Yrs. " Jeremiah is spelled two different ways........I assume the engravers error. Since there is more than one person listed I assume they were buried next to each other While in Ireland we visited the Rock of Cashel........on those grounds there is buried a John O'Connor [ not related to me that I am aware of at this point] he died in 1904. His wife is also there {Johanna -nee Griffin- ] who died August 192- .. John was 40 years old All for now........Brian Connors , Wisconsin
