Born 1892 in St. Margarets, Finglas, Dublin, to father Thomas O'Connor and Sarah O'Connor (nee Riley).
The family had a farm but lost everything, then eventually emigrated - first to Whadjuk Country ("Perth, Western Australia") and then to Yelamu ("San Francisco, California").
The capital city of Ireland, Dublin aka Baile Átha Cliath, gives its name to the whole county. It is home to Guinness, Phoenix Park and the Book of Kells. We have a population of approximately 1,904,806. We look forward to helping you connect with your ancestors’ place of origin.
