After further investigation into WI records, I came across Dennis and Mary Ryan of Fond du Lac, born in Ireland and Canada respectively, and their daughter Margaret was born at the same time my great great grandmother was born. I don't know for sure that this is the same person, but if it is, then I'm a descendant of Dennis and Mary Ryan. I would love to compare our information and see if this is a true connection.
