Joan,

If you have time I would appreciate a look-up in Missing Friends. My
great grandmother, Margaret E. CORCORAN was b. in 1863 in County Cork.
Place names in Ireland associated w/her family include: Millstreet &
Cullen, Doneen, Cloholobeg, and Coomlegane. (I am listing them all
because even though I am trying, I still do not understand Irish
geography/political/social designations!).

My first record of her in America is her marriage to William H.
O'Donnell in CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS in 1882. Other place names
associated with her in America are EVERETT, ARLINGTON and SOMERVILLE,
MASSACHUSETTS.

MARGARET E. CORCORAN's parents were:

ANDREW CORCORAN
HONORA LYNCH

Her siblings were:

Helen b. 1854
Andrew b. 1857
Henry b. 1860
Michael b. 1864

Her husband, William H. O'DONNELL's parents were:
DENIS O'DONNELL and CATHERINE_______. William stated on the 1900 census
that he came to America in 1871. I do not know the names of any of
William's siblings. They were probably not from County Cork. My great
aunt told me when I was a child that the O'DONNELLs were from GALWAY but
she was very wrong about something else so I do not consider Galway a
fact.

I don't know if Margaret CORCORAN came to America alone, with siblings
or w/siblings and parents. I would be very pleased to hear if any of
them were looking for each other in Missing Friends. Any help would be
most appreciated. Thank you so much for your help.
