O`Neill Family Tree
« on: Tuesday 25 May 10 11:57 BST (UK) »
Hello I live in New Zealand and have been researching my family tree on my mothers side.
My Grandfather was Thomas O`Neill born in in Antrim 24 th March 1887and married Agnes Drain in August 1904.
His father was Lawrence O` Neill born in 1835 and marrried Agnes Mc meekin in Nov 1860.Its only recently I have been able to find details of him and believed he only had 3 children,Thomas,Hugh, and Margaret
In the past two weeks through new information on Family Search I have been able to find 4 more additions to the family daughters Annie & Sarah and sons Robert & John.
My hope is that someone on Roots Chat may know of the family and I would be able to reconnect with long lost family.
Any help,suggestions, or information would be appreciated

Hi,
   Ancestry Ireland gives yet another child, Agnes b 1862. As it is a pay to view site the details are sparse but father was Lawrence O'Neill and mother was Agnes and county was Antrim.

Regards
Stewart, Irwin, Morrison, Haslett, Murrell - Dungiven area Co. Londonderry
Browne, Barrett -Co.Armagh
Neil, Smyth _Co. Antrim
