| | | | Creator: | O'Connor, Robert Family | | | | Dates: | 1890-1994 | | | | Abstract: | Robert O'Connor (b. 1939) was born in Dublin, Ireland, and immigrated in 1964 to New York, as there was such high unemployment in Ireland at that time. After completing a science degree, he traveled first to the United Kingdom, and subsequently to the United States. He moved to Chicago, Illinois, as part of a job transfer, and a new career took him to Ohio in 1988. O'Connor married Diane Baron in 1967, and together they have four children. Since coming to the United States, O'Connor went back to Ireland once to seek employment, but did not find the same opportunities there as in the United States. O'Connor has traced his family history in Ireland back a number of generations, identifying relationships primarily with the Sullivan family in County Cork. Living and growing up in Ireland during the turbulent times of the 1960s and 1970s left a deep impression on O'Connor. Believing that children are the true victims of the conflict in Northern Ireland, O'Connor and his wife set up The Irish Children's Fund in 1982. The aim of this fund is to provide money to allow Catholic and Protestant children of poor families in Belfast and Derry, Northern Ireland, to come to the United States and experience life with families in an area free of conflict. This program attempts to foster relationships between these two religious groups. In 1986, the O'Connors set up the Creative Irish Gifts Catalog Company, based in Streetsboro, Ohio, with a sole purpose of providing funding to continue the Irish Children's Fund. The collection consists of photocopies of certificates of birth, marriage, naturalization, diploma from University College Dublin, Ireland, an essay, family tree, genealogy, passport, and five short stories. | | | | Call #: | MS 4881 | | | | Extent: | 0.20 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | O'Connor, Robert, 1939- | O'Connor family -- History -- Sources. | Sullivan family -- History -- Sources. | Creative Irish Gifts Catalog Company. | Irish Children's Fund | Irish Americans -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- History -- Sources. | Irish Americans -- Archives.

| Manuscript Collection | Save | | 32 | Title: | William MacWilliams Papers
| | | | Creator: | MacWilliams, William | | | | Dates: | 2002 | | | | Abstract: | William MacWilliams (1841-1887) was born in Newtownards, County Down, Northern Ireland, to a Presbyterian and Ulster Scottish family, the fourth son and only child of William McWilliams (1801-1880) and Elizabeth Russell. This family had strong Irish pro nationalist political leanings, believing in a united, independent and non-sectarian Ireland. They supported the United Irishmen movement which sought to overthrow British rule. In addition, Williams' grandfather fought with the rebels at Ballynahinch and Antrim in Northern Ireland in the 1798 uprising. William received a primary school education, and as a youth, was fascinated with the history of Ireland and the stories of various nationalist movements. He later involved himself in nationalist activities, and in doing so, endangered himself, resulting in his parents sending him to America after arrests were made in Belfast and Down in 1859, to avoid imprisonment. MacWilliams came originally to New York and then moved to Pennsylvania where he married Elizabeth J. Dawson (b. 1839), a Scottish immigrant. He lived most of his life in the United States, in various cities. His grandson, Heber MacWilliams, resides in Cleveland, Ohio. The Fenian Brotherhood was an Irish nationalist organization in the United States from 1858 to 1886. William and Elizabeth MacWilliams returned to Ireland for one year, during which time MacWilliams first became active in the Fenian movement. Upon his return to the United States, not only was MacWilliams an active member from 1863 to 1871, he also held key positions, including that of Organizer. Working in that capacity, he traveled around the United States seeking out and encouraging the Irish immigrants to involve themselves in the fight for Irish freedom from British rule. This proved extremely worth while, and resulted in MacWilliams founding dozens of Fenian Circles and enlisting thousands of Irishmen in the Fenian Brotherhood. A man of much energy and ambition, William married three times, fathered fourteen; he set up seven businesses and founded two towns, during his short life of just forty-seven years. William was also renowned for his public speaking abilities and his writing skills. The collection consists of three histories that document the life of William MacWilliams and his father William McWilliams. | | | | Call #: | MS 4886 | | | | Extent: | 0.20 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | MacWilliams, William, 1841-1887. | McWilliams, William, 1801-1880. | Irish Americans -- History -- Sources. | Irish Americans -- Societies, etc. | Immigrants -- United States -- 19th century. | Fenians. | Nationalism -- Ireland. | Ireland -- History -- 1837-1901.
