Hi Vicki,
I have a Michael McDonnell who left Co. Roscommon in 1848 with his 3 children.We believe he was born in in Co. Sligo in 1815.We have no concrete record of his family.Therefore, we have no information on his parents, cousins, etc.He and his children changed their surname to McDonald around the time of the Civil War.Interestingly, the family ended up in Washington, DC.Michael remarried and may have had a son who eventually moved to the Chicago area.We're still looking into this possibility.
