My ancestors came to Australia and not the USA but I wonder if it is possible that there is a connection. In 1859 my gt gt grandfather Francis O'Donnell and his wife Catherine McGee and their first 3 children came to Australia on a Donegal Relief ship and they came from Gweedore north of Bunbeg I believe. Francis' parents were Philip O'Donnell and Bridget Duffy who were both deceased by 1859. Catherine's parents were James & Mary (Doughan) McGee who were alive and living in Gweedore in 1859. (According to the shipping list). Any connection?
