CONNOR Family History
The O?Connors hold pedigrees going back to the 2nd century. Conchobhair, meaning ?hero? or ?champion? was the 10th century King of Connacht from whom they took their name. There were, however, at least six O Conor septs, not necessarily in the same line as Conchobhair. Among these were O Conor of Corcomroe in Clare, O Connor Faly of Offaly, O Connor Kennaght of Ulster. Corcomroe (Clare), Connacht, Faly of Offaly, Kenaght of UlsterSelect Audience

In the piece I posted directly below this one, you see the raw material for the combined O'Connor/Connor tribal ceremonial staff. What symbol of O'Connor/Connor clan history, as well as Irish history, do you believe should grace the head of this staff? All suggestions are welcome, please contribute your ideas here.

Dear Connor Family,
Below you will see the picture of Pyers O'Conor Nash presenting a piece of oak from the Clonalis property in Roscommon to our 'Tainste', Lindsay Ni'Conchobhair. The oak tree will be turned into a ceremonial 'staff of office' for our united O'Connor/Connor tribe.
Thanks to Pyers and the manor house property at Clonalis House? ?. Buiochas!
Peter

Joseph Connor
My grandfather, Patrick Glennon Connor, was born in Kilucan, County Westmeath, in 1882. He went to school in Ireland with John McCormack, the famous tenor. Patrick emigrated to the United States in 1900 and married Bridget Conlon shortly thereafter.
In the United States, Patrick worked as the head waiter at the Hotel Woodstock? in Manhattan for 40 years. The hotel is in the theater district, and many famous people lived and dined there, such as Lillian Russell, Diamond Jim Brady and Victor Herbert.
In the early 1900s, Patrick moved his family from Manhattan to Morristown, N.J., settling in a neighborhood known to this day as Little Dublin. He came to this area because his wife had relatives who worked as servants and maids in the estates of the millionaires who then populated the Morristown area. He and Bridget raised four chldren: Joseph (my father) (1910-1973), Eleanor (1902-1995), May (1907-?) and Anne (1915-1991).?
Patrick retired in 1946 and died in 1963.
The attached photo of the proud father with his wife and children, taken in 1918, is bittersweet. Within two years, Bridget would be dead, a victim of the Spanish Influenza epidemic. He never remarried.
I remember Patrick as a quiet, dignified man. He would come to dinner in a three-piece suit, complete with a pocket watch in his vest pocket, and the high-top button shoes that were popular in the late 19th century. I was only 10 when he died, and I deeply regret that I never asked him about his life and our family's history.

This is my g grandfather, Thomas A. Connor who was born and raised and married in Highland, Iowa County, Wisconsin, lived in Evanston, Cook County, Illinois and died in 1932 at Elgin State Hospital, Elgin, Kane County, Illinois. Might any of you have an image like that below or have documented knowlede of Tom's parents? His parents names are reported to be John Connor and Margaret McGee. It is also reported (not documented) that both John and Margaret were born in Itreland during the first half of the 19th century

Hi my name is Donna . When my father's mother died he was 3 years old. He knew his mother was called Bridget Connor from Ireland with a father called John and a brother called Patrick. My grandfather had married Bridget in England . One day I was visiting the cemetary and stumbled on my Grandmothers grave . I went on ancestry and found she was from Tipperary and her brother had lived in London. Also some more siblings . Some went to America . It's been a struggle but I'm finally trying to piece of up bit by bit.
Connor
My father's paternal Connors came from the Killucan/Kilbeggan area of Westmeath and migrated to Lockport, Illinois (where I now live) to quarry limestone and build the Illinois & Michigan canal. The photo is of my grandfather John (l), his brother Matthew (r), their sisters Katherine (l) and Grace (r) and their mother Sarah Jane Connor (center). I have some records from Killucan Parish but am really interested in filling out the Connor part of my family tree with some more specifics if possible.

Connor
This is my Father, William Connor Born 26/9/1897 Died 1/9/1960 In the first war many lived lost and men moved to different regiments where needed. He ended up at Ypres handling the horses,. the carts and the heavy guns, We have a phot of him as an invalid in a hospital with a nurse and a pal he may have suffered a gas attack. He is our Hero since he also was a Shop Steward at the "Rootes Car " Factory in Liverpool which also did war work building parts for the Lancaster Bombers.
It was there that he met my mother and she converted to his Catholic Faith. he is the hero to my younger brother Paul.. Thank you.

(Part 1 of 3) The Connor name has a long history in the British Isles, but now DNA and some recorded history says its origin is from the south-west region of the Emerald Island. The Connor story [dominated by DNA tribal marker R1b-L513, Subgroup O2] can trace their beginnings to what is now County Kerry from 50 BCE. Perhaps the journey begins with the Clanna Dedad; Deda, son of Sen or Deda Mac Sin. The Connor surname origin is possibly a branch of what will become the Dáirine [R1b-L513] who are found in south Ireland around 300 CE.
Anthony Barrett
(Part 2 of 3) According to research, the Dáirine will join with the Dál Riata of north-east Ireland and invade Scotland around 500 CE. But how could this be? Recent discoveries from DNA testing are unlocking the migration patterns of Celtic tribes as late as 800 CE to 1200 CE. The Connor story begins in pre-history Ireland but many of his descendants will then move to Kintyre, Scotland where they and other R1b-L513 members will form the Dalriada. This line and many of his kin will then travel to Brittany, France during the Dark Ages.
