Hi Any idea where Patrick came from. My ancestor William O'Keeffe, son of Jeremiah was from Dunmore, Co. Cork, he was born about 1808/10. Married at Milford, Co. Cork in 1835 and arrived in Sydney Australia 1839.

I'm afraid I don't know anything else about Patrick. I am working to get baptismal records for the one child, Katherine "Kate" O'Keefe, I am certain was born as issue of the marriage to Patrick and Margaret Wallace, but since I don't know where in NYC she was born, I have to check with all the parishes from 1845. There are no civil records from that time either for her birth or death so I am searching for obituaries for Patrick and Margaret. No US Census records either for this family. But I do not give up hope. Your email made me wonder if there are areas of Cork where the O'Keefe family would have been more likely to live. Thanks for your in-put. All is appreciated. If I learn William is related, I will call you cousin.
