I am searching for the parents of Michael Joseph O'Brien.  He was born 10 May 1882 in Cork, Ireland.  According to the 1910 and 1920 US Census, Michael immigrated in about 1887.  In about 1904 in New York, he married Anna Donnelly (born in Manhattan, NY in about 1883.

Thanks for any help you may be able to give.

  • Rachel:

    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

    Based on your message, Michael likely emigrated at age 5 with his parents? You mentioned finding the 1910 and 1920 censuses. I would try to find the 1900 census record to see if he was living with his parents. There were 51 Michael O'Brien civil birth records in 1882 in Ireland but we don't know which one could be his record. Also he may have adjusted his year of birth in the USA. Did you locate his death record which may have parental names?

    Let us know if you find any additional info on Michael.
