Hello
My gt grandfather was Michael McDonnell/McDonald born in Mallow in 1859 I was told Michael had an aunt who married a Smyth and a stepsister named Catherine. His father was Patrick McDonald born Lismore, Waterford in 1837. His stepmother was Margret Mathias, who was married in Honeyborough, Pembrokeshire, Wales in 1861. They lived in Brooklyn, New York and Pennsylvania. Catherine and Michael returned to Ireland. Michael married, settled and died in Wales. I have found a baptism for Michael in Doneraile in 1859, his mother being Deborah LOUIS,after whom Deborah McDonnell, my grandmother, was named. She was born in 1889.
