Hi Bill~ I do have a site for any O'Neill queries on the web`at http://www.maui.net/~mauifun/oneal.htm and I can put your query there if you like, folks do surf thru that site. My cousins project is at http://www.maui.net/~mauifun/hugh.htm and is for descendants of Hugh O'Neill/Anne Cox, my emigrant ancestor. If you would like it posted on the oneil/oneal site just let me know, I am recuperating and will put it up on the site as soon as I can. Thanks very much!
