on September 28, 2024: Good afternoon,
Thanks to the members of the O'Hara family for sharing your collection
of genealogy resources... they've come in handy! I'm one of the
reference librarians at our library and this week the staff and I are
updating our 'Ancestry and Family History' guide! You listed some great
websites for us to include! Thanks again! I'm not sure if you've seen
it, but our staff really enjoyed this guide on Researching Your
Family's History from: Ships
Passenger Lists
It's a nice overview on how to use the passenger lists to search for
your ancestors, with lots of other research tips and tools for tracing
and building your family's lineage! My assistant Janice found it and
thought other families would have fun exploring it! Do you mind taking
a minute to add it to oharas.com's genealogy page for her? This is
Janice's first year working at our library, so I'd love to show her
what a help she's been, not only to us, but to others outside of our
community! Please get back to me when you have a chance! We'll be
working together this weekend and I'd love to surprise her!
Talk to you soon! Harry Rizzo
Logan O'Hara wrote on July 19, 2024: About my recent visit to the O’Hara castle ruins at Templehouse and Moymlough, County Sligo, Ireland (See entry below of March 30, 2024) I got to visit the O’Hara castle ruins at Templehouse and Moymlough! And I also got to stay with Durcan and Nicola O’Hara in Annaghmore House for my last two nights there. Durcan actually directed me to the ancient Inauguration Mounds that the O’Hara chieftains used for centuries! Don’t tell anyone, but I stood on top of it and sang Óró Sé Do Bheatha Abhaile. It was such a profound experience for me. I got to meet so many amazing locals, too. And a handful of native O’Haras! There was a very talented poet named Tom O’Hara that I got to sit and eat with, and he shared some really sublime pieces with me. I visited a handful of monasteries and natural sites throughout Mayo and Sligo, and it was a dream come true. See: O'Hara Castle.
James Gabriel O'Hara wrote on July 11, 2024: All known ancestors were born in County Cork, Ireland. The surnames for the last four generations are the following: Sheehan, Healy, Walsh (maternal family) and O'Hara, Farrar (paternal family). The O'Hara line is: James O'Hara (1915-1996) - James O'Hara (1878/1880-1965) -John O'Hara (c. 1833-after 1911 census); all were born and died in county Cork and the the ancestral home was near Innishannon in West Cork. See: O'Hara family from Innishannon, West Cork.

Married Catherine O'Brien (from Limerick who settled in NOLA) and raised a large family the descendants of whom remain in Louisiana. From Killoe Parish.
Logan O'Hara wrote on March 30, 2024: Hey there, kinspeople! I hope 2024 has been kind to everyone. It started off on a very difficult note for me, but things are very much looking up now. Thanks to luck and assistance from an old friend, I'm getting to travel to Ireland for the first time, this coming May! I'm very much looking forward to it, and there are so many sights I intend to see. I'm planning on visiting Ballysadare, Collooney, and Ballyara in Sligo. Plus Templehouse, another O'Hara holding in the county! After that, I intend to visit Limerick and the village of Killeedy where my branch of the O'Haras lived before the Famine. There are other sites I plan on setting foot at, and I will likely take 1,000+ pictures while there. But I wanted to post this here so that if anyone had any requests or suggestions for where I should go or something they'd like to see an updated picture of, I'd be happy to oblige if possible! Have a wonderful day, everyone.
Ana Rodriguez Fernandez wrote on February 25, 2024: I'm just getting in touch to thank the O'Hara family -- your collection of genealogy research sites were such a huge help! This weekend I'm helping my granddaughter Maria with an Ellis Island/family tree project she's working on for her Social Studies class. As the daughter of an immigrant family, I've always loved learning about our heritage and culture...this project is fun for both of us hehe! Her teacher asked the class to put together a report exploring where their family came from. They are required to define the vocabulary related to their family history research, interview an elder family member to gain more insight on their heritage and write a journal entry describing what a day in the life of an immigrating family was like. You listed some wonderful websites to cite in the report -- we really appreciate the help! Maria has also asked me to send you this guide that she found on building your family tree: aaastateofplay.com/genealogy-for-kids-building-a-family-tree/ It's a nice overview with lots of research tips and tools for tracing your family's lineage! The question asking tips on here were perfect for Maria's interview portion of the project. We didn't see it listed, but Maria thought it might help other families! Can you include it on your page for her? (oharas.com/genealogy/) ...I'd love to share this with Maria's teacher if you use it! I'm hoping she'll get some extra credit! The next round of report cards come out in a week and she could really use some help. Will you let me know? Thank you again! Mrs. Ana Rodriguez Fernandez
Rhianon Gendreau wrote on January 30, 2024: Hello, My name is Rhianon Gendreau (Rannow). However my biological maiden name would have been O'Hara, had it not been for a last minute marriage that occured with my maternal grandmother. I am looking for my biological grandfather. His name is Patrick O'Hara. I met him one time about 20 years ago at his home in Thousand Islands, New York. I'm looking to learn more about my heritage, when my bloodline came to America, where we are from in Ireland, family history. Also hereditary health issues I might need to be aware of. When I met him, he was married to Patty. Thank you, Rhianon Gendreau

Karen Purdy Stanley wrote
on November l 3, 2021: My grandfather on my
father’s side of my family was actually my step grandfather.
His name was Edward O’Hara an immigrant from Ireland. He
married Iva O. Baldwin (possibly related to the Vanderbilt Family).
Edward was a dairy farmer. They lived in Little Falls, NY. As a child I
visited in the summer. The names associated with my grandparents that
lived nearby were Anna, Mary, Frank, Ray ?, and my playmates, Maureen,
Aileen, Monica and Theresa. Those girls had the O’Hara last
name but I never knew who their parents were. I think Anna and Mary
were their aunts. There was a teenage cousin named Charles, handsome
with curly black hair, he had a pretty sister also. His parents might
have been Marian and John O’Hara. When I was 9 years old my
parents and I (the Purdy’s) moved to Fl. I missed my NY
‘family’ that lived ‘on the
farm’ near Utica, NY. The 40s and 50s time period.
PS. My step grandfather was Edward O’Hara. While I did not
find information about him, I did find Theresa Van Allen’s
name there. She was an O’Hara who lived at the dairy farm and
was my friend and playmate. I visited her in the 1990’s. Such
a sweet lady she is. My quest has been to find out more about Edward,
just curious. I know he and my grandmother (not Irish) have long since
died but I have some Irish DNA so have interest in Ireland.
Kathy O'Hara Gracyalny wrote on August 10, 2021:I have been unsuccessful in tracing my O'Hara ancestry. My father is Gerald Joseph O'Hara born 1933 and deceased 1977. His father was Joseph Crawford O'Hara. I know that his dob is 12/18/1889 and that he was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylivania. He married young to Anna Volava or Volata and divorced young also. Had a daughter, Gladys from that marriage (lived in Indiana for a time). He married my grandmother, Angela Niebergall-O'Hara in Chicago where my Dad was born. Joseph's father was born in New York and his mother was born in Ireland. But I have been unable to learn anything more about who Joseph's parents were and their ancestry back to Ireland. It interesting that my DNA results showed a higher percentage of Scottish than Irish. If anyone can help make some kind of connection, it would be appreciated!
William O'Hara wrote on June 25, 2021:I would like to contact a Brendan O’Hara from Melbourne, AU, re Joseph and Margaret O’Hara (nee Carroll).

From what I understand they had a child together by the name of Edna O'Hara (who) came from Fall River, Massachusetts, and James O'Hara from what I can understand passed away un married (?) at St Elizabeth home he left my great-grandmother with his child Edna. I am just trying to find out information about my great-grandfather as my aunt has never met him and it would be her grandfather. We know he passed away at St Elizabeth's at Fall River but we're thinking that he has a sister, that is also (with) deceased name Helen but had children. Any information would be wonderful. Webmaster's comment: Regarding the children's home at Fall River, see (or Google) for example: S. J. Kleinberg's book: Widows and Orphans First: The Family Economy and Social Welfare Policy, 1880-1939 (published by Unviversity of Illinois Press, 2006).

Daniel Kelly wrote on March 10, 2019: Does the O'Hara family have any details of the 'Valentine O'Hara' from the highwayman song? There is a running discussion on the mudcat.org folk music forum about whether the 'real' person was 'Allan Tine of Harrow' or 'Valentine O'Hara'. Some historical evidence of a military man turned highwaymen in the O'Hara family might settle the argument. Earliest publication of the ballad I can find is 1802, so would have to be before then and after 1617. From: Folklounge (Daniel Kelly). See also: YouTube channel (Daniel Kelly) and Valentine O'Hara.

Mary from Rochester wrote on March 17, 2017: My great-grandfather, John O'Hara came from Killimore, Galway, and was born in 1878. My great-great grandfather was James O'Hara born about 1850. His wife was Honoria Killackey. My great-great-great gandfather was Mathias O'Hara born about 1820. His wife was Margart Brenan. I believe this family spent time in Portumna, Kilemore and Taum. I think their home was somewhere in the middle of the those places. Their occupation was most likely carpenters/woodworkers. My great-grandfther John O'Hara, moved to the U.S. in 1899 and he settled in Rochester, NY. Other names associated with this family are: Kenney, Lawless, Killacky, Carolan, Larkin, Mooney.

We are the only Canadian O’Hara’s that share this history.

We estimate he was about 15 years old at the time. He later married Mary and they had two daughters: Mary and Delhia. It seems Mary never married but Delhia married a Fitzgerald and they had 6 children (five daughters and one son). The son died around age 23. One daughter also died very young. Three daughters never married and the last daughter married a Phipps and had 2 daughters. One became a Nun for 60+ years and the other is my Mom who had 6 children. I don't think there is anyone around who could be related....unless they are a decendent of my great, great grandfathers brother or sister - if he had any!

My first direct ancestor that I know about is Henry O'Hara, born in 1730 in or near Frederick MD. One of his sons, Henry, Jr., and wife, Margaret Brown O'Hara, left Maryland in 18ll and emigrated to Randolph County IL. Currently, an eighth generation of U.S. O'Haras is growing up on the original Illinois homestead. My assumption is that the Frederick MD Henry's parents immigrated from Ireland, but so far, I have found this information elusive.

She married Pat McCarrick (1781- 1864) from Loughill?. They had a daughter, Catherine McCarrick (1844- 1899), who married my great grandfather, Thomas Flynn on 3 Oct 1865, in Tobercurry, Sligo. These O'Hara's began in 1616 with a grant of land at Mullaun by Teighe O'Hara to his brother Cormac. He was the forebearer of Nancy's father. Nancy's brother Paddy O'Hara married and stayed at home, and was the father of Fr. Denis O'Hara, Administratoar in Ballaghadereen and later as a parish priest of Kiltimagh. His other son was ArchDeacon Roger o"Hara, a parish priest of Kilmovee from 1882 to 1924. Are there any O'Hara's out there with a McCarrick connection? Many thanks, in advance. Kathy Flynn Simons.

The most distant relative is on William O'Hara who came from Sligo. He was born in the 1840s, apparently in Sligo. He came to England via the West coast at Maryport and teamed up with a girl called Jane Johnston, who came from Torprnhow in Cumberland. They arrived in the NE of England in about 1875 and eventually settled in Spennymoor. All of this detail can be seen by visiting the WorldConnect page identified above.

They hold there the clan artifacts, like the original of The Book of OHara, and the clan drinking vessel. I suggested he do something to gather the clan, but he is a shy retiring man, who dutifully informed me that he was really a Cooper. When Charles Keane, his Great grandfather died, he did so without heirs, so he left Annaghmore estate to his sisters son, provided that he change his name from Cooper to Ohara ! There is another stately house called Coopers Hill of the main Slig rd, and owned by William OHara. I met his mother, dear old lady, who tells me that they take visiting gurests if anyone is in the area researching their roots.
