Title: LOOKING FOR: Passenger lists in Waterford, Ireland to Newfoundland, Canada
Post by: Patricia_ Wright 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.

Patricia

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.

Thank you rmsturge for your input. They are cousins.
