As of Septembe 2003 I have about 7000 names on my Family Tree Maker file for the Surnames: AHEARN aka HERON, DALTON, FARRELL, KINCH, MCCARTHY, MacDONALD, O'CONNOR (3 lines) and WHELAN. All from Prince Edward Island, some there as early as 1750. Also: O'CONNOR, CRAWFORD, FLAHERTY and MCAFFERTY from Massachusetts and Rhode Island from about 1850. And SCHULTZ, SCHMIDT AND STEINER from Lubienka, Zbaraz, Ukraine about 1890.
I would appreciate any information about any of these SURNAMES.

There were many contemporanious (O')Connor families in Worcester and probably some were cousins or siblings of Timothy, but in thirty years of trying I have never been able to find any. Family lore has it that the picture, linked above as; Chicago O'Connor Relatives ??? was taken about 1915 at "The Pier" at Narragansett, RI and included a group of cousins visiting from Chicago.
Rosetta O'Connor is sitting in the back row and Jane Casey both sitting and in white and both grandaughters of Timothy O'Connor and Jane Crawford.
I, (Tom O'Connor) would love to hear from other O'Connor descendants who might see any family resemblance.
