I'm searching for records for James and his parents and siblings. O'Brien seems to be an incredibly common name and I'm unsure of how to find the right one.  James was born in County Cork, May 12, 1867, Skinnakilla Cross (?). Parents are James O'Brien and Catherine McCarthy.  They immigrated to the US in 1867(?) and ended up in Howell, Michigan.  I found this baptism record on Ancestry.com  Any help would be appreciated!
