Al,

   I would love to get more information on the O'Rourke family. My email is boligjb@pa.net. I have been trying to research my Irish roots but it has been very hard. The irish names I am researching are very common, and most came to the United States between 1850 and 1870. My family includes O'Hanley, O'Rourke, Murphy, and Riordan. If you know of any good books or websites for information on any of these families, even just good histories of Ireland I would greatly appreciate it. Also, I tried looking for the faebook group you spoke about and I haven't been able to find it.
