My ancestor Jeffrey (Geoffrey) O'Connell married Ellen Callahan (O'Callaghan),
daughter of ? Callahan and Catherine Crimmins. The O'Connell's resided in the
Mallow area of County Cork, Ireland. (Period of time est. 1790-1845). Denis
born 1818, died Nov. 23, 1912 near Mallow. Denis and wife Hanora Lehane had a
son Dennis born Dec 15, 1860 in Cregawn Parish, County Cork. Dennis was the
eldest of six children born to that union. Dennis came to America about 1877.
He was my grandfather. I have had little success with research in Ireland. I
had the opportunity to visit Ireland some years ago, hired a genealog
researcher, but he indicated that I had to have more facts, because O'Connell
was such a common name. Since that time, I have only "churned my wheels".
