Welcome to the O'Halloran Family Tree site. My roots consist of a mixture of both Irish and English ancestors. My father's side of the family all emigrated from Ireland during and after the Great Famine years. The immigrant surnames include Crotty, (O')Halloran, Sullivan, and Sweeny. Finding ancestral roots in Ireland has been difficult, but I have had some success tracing the Hallorans and Crottys to their home townlands of Clogheen and Burncourt in County Tipperary.

On my mother's side of the family, the McKeoughs also came from Ireland during the Famine years. Otherwise, her ancestors are almost entirely of English origin, many of them Pilgrims, having immigrated to the US from 1620 to the 1700s. Immigrant surnames include Mayflower passengers Bradford and White, as well as Brewster, Buell, Bullis, Covey, Dewey, Doughty, Drake, Fitch, Grimshaw, Griswold, Jones, Manning, Odell, Tompkins, and Wolcott, to name a few.

I owe a lot to other researchers who have generously shared their information with me during my search. I have included a few links to sites of those who have helped me along the way and are looking into related lines.

I will be glad to share whatever information and sources I have with others, and I look forward to learning about other connections I have yet to find.

NOTE: Most recent updates to this page include additional Odell relatives provided by cousin Kathryn Odell, newly-discovered English royalty ancestry of my 9th great-grandfather, John Drake, and additional details of the Clinton, NY Grimshaws.
