Michael O’Dea, my maternal grandfather, was born and raised in Ballykeel South, Kilfenora, in 1851, the eldest of the five children of Terence O’Dea and Bridget (O’Brien) O’Dea, who were married in Kilfenora, July 5, 1850. Michael’s siblings, in the order of their births: Mary, 1852; John, 1853; Bridget, 1855; and Thomas, 1858. Thomas O’Dea married Catherine O’Donohue, March 2, 1897, in Corofin. The couple lived on the farm in Ballykeel South, which Thomas inherited. Corofin Heritage Center records show four children born in this family, including the late Terence, of Ahasla, Maurice’s Mills, born 1902, who died in 1978. Most of Terence O’Dea’s family and descendants live in the Ennis area.

My father is James Alfred O’Day, an orphan, raised by a western NY German farming family. Father was an electrician named ?? O’Day from Ashtabula, Ohio and mother was ?? Koupas. Nothing else can be unearthed about his birth parentage and this is becoming increasingly important to me for health/personal reasons.

I forgot to give my father’s DOB, 8/6/1931 and that he was evidently the illegitimate son of the two mentioned previously, sorry. This illegitimacy is possibly the reason after years of HIS trying to get into from Social Security and the State of Ohio, he has been unable to. This is frustrating at best, so, as his 50 year old daughter and an O’Day, I am trying to pick up the flag, so to speak. Any info appreciated. In Peace, Rebecca.  Thanks again.
