She married Michael Kelliher in Pittsfield Massacusetts April 28, 1897 and died March 30, 1951 in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.

I am trying to find my O'Donnell family and we have a Lizzie, Mary and Annie, but there are 4 brothers Thomas, John, Terence and James. Did they all have to use the same names. UGH!!! This is making it so hard. Could you imagine being a teacher and calling on Mary, what a headache. Somehow I think all of us should get together, split up in different directions and try to find them all. Hunt down every last one of them. I hope you have better luck than I have had. It sure is slow going. Take care. I'll keep my eyes out for yours if you give me some dates. Sincerely, Monica

O'Donnell, male, born 9 November 1929 in New York, mother's Isabelle name CREEN, died 24 February 1961 in Los Angeles County, CA. Father's name is Lester. He is deceased. Eugene was my father's eldest brother. After he died his wife - we think her name was Jennie or Jenny took his children and just disappeared. My step-grandmother searched for them for years. Grandpa Lester died a few years back but my father and other of the siblings would like to find the children of there beloved brother Eugene. The children are (as far as we know) Eugene born around 1949 and Vincient born in 1957. Some say there is a daughter as well. One of the sons was to have served in the Navy. If anyone knows of them or if they are interested and reading this - many aunts, uncles and cousins would love to meet you and your families. Thank you!

I found this on the net- site and all is listed. There were Donnell's I do not list- and if anyone knows anything about any of the Michaels I would appreciate it. Blessings, Kathleen1857 Griffith's Valuations of Co Donegal-This valuation records every landowner and householder in Ireland in a period shortly after the famine. An Act was passed in 1826 allowed for a uniform valuation of property in all Ireland for levying of county charges and grand Jury Rates. Thus began an assessment of the whole country, county by county by Sir Richard Griffith. Amendments were passed to the 1826 Act, the first in 1831 excluded those houses under the annual valuation of �3, another in 1836 excluded house under �5. The information given in the Griffith's gives: the Townlands address and householders name; the name of the person from whom the property is leased; a description of the property; the acreage and the valuation. If a surname was common in an area then the surveyors adopted the practice of indicating the fathers name to show the difference between two people of the same Christian name and surname (usually). So Tadgh O'Brien (Michael) is the son of Michael O'Brien and Tadgh O'Brien (James) is the son of James O'Brien. However, here in Ireland people of the same name could/can be distinguished simply by indicating the colour of their hair (as gaeilge - thru Irish ) so it would have been sufficient here to indicate that one Tadgh had red hair and one Tadgh black - calling them respectively Tadgh (Red) O'Brien and Tadgh (Black) O'Brien. The main difference between the Tithe Applotment Books and the Griffith's Valuation is that all householders were listed in Griffith's. Remember the different types of acres used in each, the Irish and English acre...this will account for difference in size of land held by a family from one valuation to the other if they appear in both. Remember also the fact that the house of less than �3 annual value were included up to the year 1831 and excluded from that point forward, and those with an annual value of �5 were included up to 1836 and excluded from then on. Where a name appears twice or more, it does not necessarily mean that there are separate people carrying that name - it may indicate the same person with his name recorded against land and a house/outbuildings in different areas of the townlands.

My daughter Timoni recently found this interesting article on Atlantic Monthly.com. The tagline is "The mathematical study of genealogy indicates that everyone in the world is descended from Nefertiti and Confucius, and everyone of European ancestry is descended from Muhammad and Charlemagne"; it's all about how everybody's descended, well, from everybody. Here's the link, if you're interested: www.theatlantic.com/issues/2002/05/olson.htm If that doesn't work, go to theatlantic.com and click on "Past Issues" (or "Archived Issues", I can't remember) and look up April of this year; there's a contents and the article should be just a simple link.
