Hi...this thread is fantastic!  I'm also trying to find the Irish connection too.  I'm Margaret's brother (John Dodd 1846-1917), Sons (john cynog dodd), daughter's (Laura Mary Dodd), great grandaughter.  I was always told that margaret and john came over from ireland.  It's all so hard to recall, but I can't go beyond that and the records have dried up for me.  I have managed to trace most of my family tree back to 1787 at it's earliest, and am happy to share my saved records if anyone would like...and if you guys have anything to help me too I'd be really grateful (I have census info, but no photos as of yet).  As far as new information for this thread goes, I was told 'we' have a family gravesite for the Dodd's in Ireland, and some close links with Cork, though I am not sure if that's where the actual graves are.
