Just wanted to share with all in case there are some folks out there researching the same or connected lines.
John KLINGEL and ur truly working together have found the home County in Ireland for the O'CONNOR-GIBNEY line.
Edward O'CONNOR abt 1836 married Catherine GIBNEY abt 1836 in County Westmeath Ireland. Their children Patrick J. O'CONNOR 1856-1889 married Maria ARMSTRONG 1859-??; Catherine O'CONNOR 1858-???; William O'CONNOR 1860-1932 married Frances WALTON 1872-1935; Mary Ann O'CONNOR became Sister Mary Claude O'CONNOR 1862-1936. The children were all born in County Westmeath and the families settled in Scranton. Sister Mary Claude O'CONNOR , Sisters of Charity of St.Vincent de Paul of New York spent most of her life in the New York area where she died. Most were Catholic and their home parish was St. Patrick's RC Church in Scranton.
