Surnames: O'Mara, McCartney, Welch Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/1VB.2ACE/11418.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi Diane, Leo was a son of John O'Mara and Mary Ann McCartney. My husband's great grandmother was Mary Ann's sister. I have Leo as being born about 1888 in Ohio and his father John being born 9/24/1854 in Ohio. I got that information from his death certificate, which I do have a copy of. That certificate also gives his parents' names as John O'Mara and Bridget Welch, who were both born in Ireland. I do have some other information on Leo's siblings, but other than that, that's the extent of my knowledge of this family. Do any of these names right a bell with you? If so, I'd be glad to share what I know about the family and would be happy to add in what you have. Let me know what you think. Carole King Murray
