O'Connor: Counties Mayo and Roscommon

I am searching for info about the O'Connors from Counties Mayo and Roscommon. My grandfather's name was James Albert O'Connor (DOB:5/8/1922 DOD:6/24/2006), and his father's name was Chester Francis O'Connor. Both were born in Brainerd, Minnesota. Any info would be helpful, especially about Chester's father, who came to America from Ireland. Chester's mother was Kathleen Toohey (born 1868 in Matoon, Illinois). Her father was Matrin Toohey (Martin served in the Civil War) who came from Galway between 1859-1861. Kathleen's monther's last name was White. She was also from Ireland. Chester's father, James Emmett O'Connor, was from Roscommon and he sailed from Louth (possibly to Ovid, New York). I would like to know more about him and his parents.
