LOOKING FOR: Passenger lists in Waterford, Ireland to Newfoundland, Canada
« on: Wednesday 13 November 13 19:51 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

I am asking for help finding the following people that came over to Newfoundland and stayed.
I am having trouble finding Michael O'Brien Born in Ireland abt 1775 and Wife Mary born in Ireland abt 1775(-maiden name unknown) and children: George born ?, Margaret ?, Patrick 1803, Cornelius Abt 1810, Eleanor abt 1810, Michael Abt 1810, Martin 1812, Jeremiah 1813, John 1814, Francis 1818. I believe the children were born in Ireland. When they came to Newfoundland I am not sure?
Is there anyone who can give me some direction as to how to find my family of the O'Brien's.

I can't tell you when, but possibly where.

There is a well known family of O'Brien's in Bay Bulls, Newfoundland. They run "O'Brien's Whale and Bird Tours Inc." They definitely have Irish roots.
