Surnames: O'Leary, O'Larey Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/0gB.2ACI/199.1.1 Message Board Post: I am looking for my gggreatgrandfather John O'Leary/O'Larey who died 28 sep 1889. Lived in Palisades and then Garretson. He is buried in the Summit Hill Cemetery. He immigrated to the US from Ireland via Nova Scotia. I just thought that there may be some information in an obituary for him. All the declarations between 1849-1855 and all the petitions prior to 1908 were mistakenly sent to Washington DC for permanent filing and well they were lost. I am just trying to find anything that may have where in Ireland he came from or who his parents were but so far nothing. Thanks for your interest. Kelly
