I don't even know if these people existed! My g-grandfather, George O'Connor, was born out of wedlock to Margaret O'Connor in NYC, and this was the information that was on his birth certificate, which was obviously false. Margaret, her siblings, and her father, Michael O'C, were all born in Quebec. Margaret lived her entire life in Quebec except when she went to NYC to live with a relative to wait out her pregnancy and give birth. I would imagine her intention was to give him up for adoption, but then changed her mind. This O'Connor family was very, very large, so if John O'Connor was a real person, he may have been a cousin from Ireland, but I just don't know. This is my brick wall and it is so frustrating!!!
