Colleen,

I don't remember if you and I covered this before but in case you didn't ask
for ALL the McDonnels (only ALL the Sullivans! <G>) here's what I've got on
2 of your names.

In HISTORY OF SAN FRANCISCO BAY REGION, By Bailey Millard, - 1924 - Vol.
III - page 268:
EMMA GUMMER, granddaughter of Michael Sanor, is the widow of DR. C. C.
O'DONNELL. Dr. O'Donnell came to San Francisco in 1850, native of
Baltimore.........." WANT MORE?????

In BAY OF SAN FRANCISCO - 1892 - Vol. II - page 312:
JOSEPH E. O'DONNELL, a San Francisco attorney, is a native son, born in San
Francisco June 3, 1863. His father, who came to the Pacific coast during
the early days, is still living in this city............ Mr. Joseph E.
O'Donnell was married in 1889 to KATIE J. MOHRMANN, a native of San
Francisco" Goes on to say he is big time lawyer (special counsel for the
city and county of SF and his wife, Katie, was left a large inheritance.
Your 1916 directory shows ELSIE as wife's name - this has an KATIE - second
marriage??? WANT MORE????

Thanks for you help earlier....

RUTH
