    2. Looking for the following family's origin in Irleland: Parents Felix/Francis O'NEILL and Hannah CARR/KERR Children Mary b. May 1860 (or 1866/1867) emigrated to NYC 1887/1888 Felix b. May 1865 (or 1859/1861/1862) emigrated to NYC 1878/1880 Francis b. Feb 1868 (or 1863/1865/1866) emigrated to NYC 1885/1891 Julia b. Feb 1871/1872 or 15 Aug 1870 emigrated to NYC 1886/1888 Ages and years of emigration vary depending on source. Julia married another Irish immigrant, Luke HALPIN in NYC. Her story is tragic. Sister Mary died from a fall on the ice in Feb 1907. Almost one year later to the day, brother Felix, a grave digger at Calvary Cemetery in NYC, took a shortcut home one day, and was hit by a train. Brother Frank took Felix's job and was hit by a train one week later taking the same shortcut home. The following year, husband Luke died as a result of burns suffered in a Standard Oil Company fire. Can anyone help me locate Irish point of origin? Would appreciate any advice/information. Cathy Halpin
