KERNER b: November 27, 1886 in Brooklyn, New York d: March 13, 1959 in New York m: 1923 in New York I did finally find this in the 1870 census, Brooklyn, Kings County, New York, page 258: Michl O'Donnell, age 33, laborer, born in Ireland Mary O'Donnell, age 30, born in Ireland Alice O'Donnell, age 6 months, born in New York. (This would indicate that she was born Dec 1869 not 1870 or 1871??????) Hi Kathleen! Sorry to have taken so long to get back to you! The only couple who come close to your Mary and Michael are these 2 -Irish to America, 1846-1865 O'Donnell, Michael Age : 25 O'Donnell, Mary Age : 23 Country of Origin : Ireland Date of Arrival : May 20, 1863 Final Destination : USA Port of Debarkation : New York Ship's Name : Bridgewater Manifest ID Number : 901923 Port of Embarkation : Liverpool Purpose for Travel : Staying in USA, but not a citizen of USA Mode of Travel : Steerage I couldn't find any couple, named either Michael/Mary or James/Mary arriving in the US with any children :-( The same goes for the marriage - no sign of it in the records I have. There were Dineens in Donegal though - only three households in the 1857 Griffiths : Dinneen, Bridget - Strasallagh Dinneen, John- Meenasrone South Dinneen, Patrick- Meenasrone South They were all in the one parish though - Inishkeel. The only household headed by a Michael O'Donnell in the parish, for 1857, was in Mulnamin Beg, which isn't too far from Strasallagh. I can't think of anything to advise you of at the moment, except to try obtaining Michaels death cert or obituary - there may have been something in that - or even on his headstone.......that's if he died in the US anyway. Well, its not much but I hope it helps a bit anyway. All the best, Lindel James died on his way home from work at the age of 51. He is buried in Holy Cross Cemetary in Brooklyn, New York. 1930 census, Brooklyn, Kings County, ED # 1145, page 7A, NY: James J. O'Donnell, age 49, engineer for plumbing company Lottie, wife, age 43 (Charlotte Kerner Creen) Roy O'Donnell, son, age 15, apprentice plumber (Leroy, mother Mary Harrigan) Lottie O'Donnell, daughter, age 3 yrs 2 months (Charlotte) Jessie Creen, stepdaughter, age 18, occupation - telephone operator (father is Ruffus Creen) I have not found any information on Mary Harrigan married to James J. O'Donnell. Even her death certificate has no parents listed at all- This is a great frustration. Mary Harrigan O'Donnell died on Jan 28, 1914 (five days after Leroy was born) at 4:00 p.m. at 216 Hoyt Street, a tenement in Brooklyn, Death Certificate number 2674. An autopsy was performed and the cause of death was asphyxia due to gas poisoning. Details of medical examiner's report not included. No personal information was provided or known to the county medical examiner. She was buried in a pauper's grave at the County Farm on Feb 5, 1914 by the Dept. of Public Charities. She left four young sons, one being my grandfather Lester Aloyisiuss O'Donnell. Her sons were Edwin, James, Lester and Leroy.

Happy New Year to O'Donnell list members, An arduous man has been transcribing the 1870 San Francisco census for sometime now. I found in the fourth ward, the "other" James O'Donnell as I call him. He was also a police officer as was my great great grandfather, James O'Donnell, but he was several years older. I have always wondered if the two were somehow related as my own family lived very nearby (a few blocks). I note that the oldest son, also James, was born in Australia it seems and then they apparently came to the USA from there I suppose sometime in 1857, as the second son Edward was born in California in 1858. If anyone has any idea as to who this group of person(s) is/was please let me know. I do remember someone was looking for a MATILDA O'DONNELL that wrote to me sometime ago.

I am seeking connections to the family of: Lawrence & Ellen O'DONNELL married 04 February 1855 Cappoquin, Waterford, Ireland. children: John O'DONNELL baptised 23 March 1857 Brigid O'DONNELL baptised 27 December 1858 Mary O'DONNELL baptised 25 May 1861 Patrick O'DONNELL born 04 January 1864 Lawrence O'DONNELL born 20 June 1865 Catherine O'DONNELL born 20 May 1867 Thomas O'DONNELL born 09 June 1869 Ellen O'DONNELL born 19 March 1871 Johanna O'DONNELL born 01 April 1873 William O'DONNELL born 22 February 1876 married Ann Kerlan 04 February 1911 Mt. Melleray, Waterford, Ireland John was the first of the family to come to Massachusetts from Ireland. He came with his siblings Patrick, Kate and Laurence O'Donnell. They left a red headed sister behind in Ireland. John settled in Boston, Mass. where he married and raised a family. He suffered a stroke as a young man and lost his memory. His son Louie took him back to Ireland on Doctor's orders to see if it would help him. When they returned he was better but had lost his Irish brogue. It was such a struggle to get here, that the family didn't talk much about their early days in Ireland. He was a professional dancer in Ireland.

To all List and Digest Members - All I want for Christmas (from you) is an UNSUBSCRIBE message if you are going to be gone for the holidays. If you leave your account in a SUBSCRIBED mode your mailbox may become filled and that means my mailbox will get filled up with notices that your mail couldn't be delivered. each and every time a note is posted to the List. With a few hundred subscribers to each of the lists that I maintain it won't take long because I won't be here to delete them all. Yep, I'm going away for the holidays too and I am going to unsubscribe myself from all the lists that I belong to. I'll just send a subscribe notice to reinstate myself when we get home. To unsubscribe from any list that you may belong to, send a note to [listname]-L-Request@RootsWeb.com with the word "unsubscribe" in the subject and text lines.

I will just leave my notices in my in-box and they will serve as a great reminder to resubscribe when I get back. To subscribe, just send a note to the same address and use the word "subscribe" and you'll be back on the list. A couple of notes: 1. I know you're not silly enough to use the quote marks and brackets in the examples above but I just had to mention it. 2.

> I am searching for my father Gary O'Donnell. He was born on July 29, > 1951 in Lynn, MA. He also lived in Salem, NH in the mid 70's. I > believe his parents are Charles Giarard (possibly step-father?) and > Doris Smith. I was born September 12, 1976 and he married my mother > Lorie Conture in October of 1976. They divorced in 1978 and no one has > seen him since. I would really like to know whether he is still alive > and exactly what happened. I think after 26 years it is time to know > my father. The good news is that he is not listed on the Social Security Death Index file although there are a couple of men with the same name whose dates of birth are close, none are exactly as the date stated above. Switchboard.com lists some 42 listings for a Gary O'Donnell but it is impossible to determine whether they might be your father as phone listings do not carry any age data. Of those, two are listed within Massachusetts. O'Donnell, Gary 44 Brookline Ave, Holyoke, MA 01040-1805 (413) 533-8244 O'Donnell, Gary 357 Washington Ave, Revere, MA 02151-2896 (781) 629-3088 Recognizing the apparent confusion with a possible step-parent, there one other possibility within Massachusetts. There were no names listed as "GIARARD" in either the Social Security Death Index nor at Switchboard.com. Using the spelling of "GIRARD" produced a number of hits on the Death Index but none that were close to the DOB given for your father. But using that spelling on switchboard yielded one man with the surname "GIRARD" was listed with 3 different telephone numbers. Girard, Gary 131 Pierce Rd, West Brookfield, MA 01585-3040 (508)867-9157 and (508)867-9196 and (508) 867-9680 Hope that might help in some small way.
