Hi there, I am at work now, so can't talk much!
I am in NJ, USA I have done a lot of work on both parents side. I never even heard of this board, I use primarily ancestry.com and a little bit of familysearch.org
My mother's best friend of 40 years is P. O'Neill, she lives here in NJ. Her father was James O'Neill 1901-1949. He had 2 siblings John and Annie. Annie was born here in US, she thinks maybe California. They (James O'Neill and CAtherine Jessop) stayed in US for 7 years, went back to Ireland, where they had John and James Jr.
