there's some simularities but prob. coincidental~I don't know the names of my Thomas Francis O'NEILL parents or siblings names~one of his gr.daughters name was Nancy,she's still alive and lives in St.Louis~He was a tinner by trade and supposdly did the 'gilding' on the courthouse in Baltimore~and I'm in Calif.~I have a hunch his famly lived in St.Louis when he married Alice MONAHAN in 1883~ so the similarities are: the name Francis,one o9f yours was a Francis~the name Nancy,you had one~ ~I live in Calif. where one of your O'NEILLs ended up~sure would be nice if this was all we needed to make a match huh?~ ALICE >*;*<
