I've been searching unsuccessfully for my gggrandfather who was James O'Neal. Specifically, I'm looking for Virgie (Virginia?) O'Neal who was b. abt 1885. I know this makes your James pretty old, but I've seen stranger things. Any help would be great. Thanks, Stephanie <<My O'Neals were James O'Neal and wife Martha from NC. I don't know where or Martha's name. They show up in Simpson County KY ca. 1820 and live out their lives in KY, i.e., Barren and Allen counties. Know nothing about James' siblings. I would surely like to find someone in NC who is missing a son James. Any ideas? >>
