O'Neill Cavan with Leitrim connections

Kathy:

Welcome ti Ireland Reaching Out!

I checked our prior messages in our Cloone parish page and the parish page for Co. Leitrim and did not see any earlier messages for O'Neils.

I did check the subscription site Roots Ireland and was not able to find a church marriage record. I did locate transcriptions for baptisms for your great-grandfather and five younger siblings. Looks like the first Michael and the first Catherine died young. You may be aware but the Gortletteragh RC baptismal records have a gap between 1840-1848 so there were very likely more children born and baptized in the gap period.   Michael 1833 Catherine 1834 Michael 1834 Catherine 1836 Terence 1852

Here is the parish register:

Hoepfully someonew will see a connection with your O'Neil line. Have you considered DNA testing?
