Hello O'Donnells, I found yet another record of Captain Hugh O'Donnell of Donegal in San Francisco, California, USA. This is the second time I have found a reference to him and even the dates almost match! Not bad for something that occurred 135 years ago. 2/07/1868 ODONNELL, HUGH 54 YEARS MALE Nativity: IRELAND http://www.rootsweb.com/~cabf1905/San_Francisco/SFJAN171868-MAR101868.htm Here is what I thought to be a lost record I found about 5 years ago: O'DONNELL, H. In San Francisco, Feb. 6, 1868, Captain H. O'DONNELL, a native of County Donegal, Ireland, aged 54 years. Paper (San Francisco Bulletin); Feb. 6, 1868. I suspect I am related to Hugh O'Donnell for many reasons. Does anyone have any knowledge of this old sea captain? Regards to all, Sue O'Donnell
