O'Laughlin/Breslin
I'm looking for information on my g-grandfather, Michael Joseph O'Laughlin and his family. Michael was born in 1876 in (I believe) Corrofin, Co. Clare, Ireland. He came to the US in 1890-91 and made his way to Kentucky. He married Mary Maude Breslin (b. 1877 in Urbana, Champaign Co., Ohio). They moved to Houston, Texas for a while where my grandmother, Mary Madeline, was born on June 18,1906. They moved back to KY at some point and their son, James Breslin, was born there on December 18, 1909. Michael worked for the Breslin Construction Co. which helped build Fort Knox.
Michael's father's name may have been Andrew, his mother's maiden name may have been Monaghan (not sure how it was spelled), and he had at least one brother, named Thomas, who moved to Mitchelstown, Co. Cork, Ireland where he married Bridget Keating and had a son named Andrew. Madeline married Charles Earl Cooper in 1928 and had 3 children--Mary Terese (my mother), Charles Michael Gary, and Mary Ellen.
I'd sure like to connect with someone who has info on Michael's family and/or might be a cousin!
