Patrick Connolly & Rose MacDonald

Cavan

Hello,

I'm looking for my gg grandparents, Patrick Connolly and Rose Macdonald.  Patrick and Rose were both born in Cootehill, Cavan.  Patrick was born around 1839 and Rose about 1842.

Patrick left Ireland around 1860 and settled in Pierce City, Missouri.  Rose left Ireland around 1868. Patrick and Rose married, probably in Missouri, but that is unclear.

Any information about Patrick and Rose's parents and other family would be greatly appreciated!

Desiree:

I assume you don't have any specifics on the names of Patrick's parents? What were the names of the children of Patrick and Rose in age order. Have you considered DNA testing?
