I found my mother's cousin on Rootsweb and she feels that perhaps the John O'Mara in Milan is ours. Do you have any info on his siblings. My great grandfather, Patrick O'Mara was born in Ireland and migrated to the US around 1852. It appears that there were a lot of O'Maras in Ohio. My grandfather settled in VanWert, Ohio. My cousin is going to Ohio and try to get the naturalization papers on Patrick O'Mara in the hope it will lead her to his parents. I am going to sent your message to her and see what she thinks. Thanks, I will keep you posted.
