Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I was not able to find the marriage records for the parents.

Catherine had at least eight siblings: Margaret 1866 James 1868 (died young?) Alice 1870 Philip 1873 Patrick 1875 Daniel 1880 James 1883 Hugh 1885

The Connor family lived in Crohyboyle townland in Templecrone parish.

Hi John 

My name is Denis O'Connor.  Catherine was my Great Grandfather's sister.  I'm afraid I don't know a great deal about her but the house in Donegal is still in our family.

Best

Denis

Hi Denis

I have DNA connections to th e O'Connor family.

I would love to find out how I am related, If you have information you don't mind sharing please make contact. I have a tree on ancestry that may help. Do you have a tree anywhere?

John

I do have a tree on ancestry but I've only just begun it and it's not extensive.  I know quite a bit about our family going back to early 19th century.  Sharing yours will be a good start.
