My ancestors Timothy and wife Catherine HURLEY O'BRIEN came from Ireland 
around 1830 from County Cork and settled in Carleton County (formerly Bytown, 
now Ottawa). they were catholic, and had a baby on the way to canada and called him 
George. they went to notre dame in ottawa, where they baptized patrick, johnathan, 
catherine, and bartholomew. they were there until about 1849 and moved to New york
 when bartholomew died of typhus. they were in the hammond - ogdensburg area of 
new york, USA, for a few years, then moved on to Marengo, Illinois, before their final 
destination south of Greene, Iowa, about 1853. they are buried in coldwater township 
at the old catholic church cemetery there. i am a descendent of patrick, who married a DOYLE girl. 
His son timothy was my father's dad. I live in Waterloo, Iowa in 
the usa. any info out there? I have been to ireland 3 times, but no luck in locating any 
other ancestors?
