George O'Neil is my maternal Great Grandfather. His daughter Barbara was my gramdma. He and his wife had thirteen children...only two survived past infancy.And then his eldest surviving son was murdered in Australia in his twenties as part of a bank robbery. Knew he had lost his fingers in a pit accident - can't believe that a record of it still exists. If you can help any more with my research, I would be most grateful. Thank you, Barbara Gaffney.
