Searching for ancestry and biological mother.
I just wonder if my mother could be one of the eight children Mary O'Connell and Neal???
I was born Aug 12, 1961, Brooklyn, NY. Weighed 7 pounds, 8 ounces, 20 1/2" long. I was legally adopted in December of 1961.
My biological mother was 25 years old at the time of my birth, (now ~65 years) Caucasian and Roman Catholic, born in Ireland. She came to
the United States to join her sister and later became a citizen. She was 5'3" tall, 134 pounds with blue eyes, dark brown curly hair and a fair
complexion.
She had, at one point, contemplated entering the convent but later decided against it.
My maternal grandparents were born in Ireland. Maternal grandfather died in a car accident a few months after my biological mother came to the
US. Maternal grandmother was 56 years old at the time of my birth. My biological mother had 4 brothers and 4 systers. Brothrs were 20, 22,
23 and 27 (Adding 40 years since then, they would now be 60, 62, 63 and 67) Sisters were 16, 17, 19 and 30. (Adding 40 years since they
would now be 56, 57, 59 and 70. All but one maternal aunt and one maternal uncle contnued to reside in Ireland.
That is all the information I have. No first names. I have been on this quest for years—always end up at a dead end. I have very little
information and help would be much appreciated. I am now happily married, have a beautiful daughter, own a home and teach music.
I desperately need to find my history!
