Hello All,

I am sorry to bother you but I am in need of some assistance.
My name is Timothy Michael O’Donnell. I have been researching my family for several years now and have hit a roadblock. Unfortunately I was not interested in genealogy when my relatives were around alive. Consequently I do not have many resources to ask. I am unable to find out much information regarding our family and am turning to you in hopes that someone out here might be able to help. Here is what little I know.

Cornelius O’Donnell might be my great-great-grandfather. I am not positive about this information and this is all I know.

His son is Michael O’Donnell, my great grandfather, b, 1845 in Bedfordshire England, d, 1900 in Vermont. Believe in Norton Mills Vermont. He married Elizabeth Benyon (Benion). She was married twice before Oldfield and Logan. They had five (5) children. Lottie May, Clara Ann, Mable M, Edward and Andrew, my grandfather.

Andrew was born Feb 6, 1881 in Liverpool, Lancashire England, died Oct 18, 1953 in Rumford Maine. He was married to Marie Bergeron. They had one (1) son, Norton O’Donnell. He is my father.

Norton was born May 7, 1911 in Rumford Maine, died Sept 9, 1964 in Grand Rapids Michigan. He was married to Kathaleen Thomas.

That brings us to me; I was born Jan 6, 1947 in Rumford Maine, still alive to the best of my knowledge. I am married to Deborah VanderPloeg. I have two (2) sons and three (3) grandchildren.

Like I said, I do not have nor is there is a lot of information available. Any and all possible family trees, links, clues or sites would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all in advance for any assistance that you might be able to give.

Respectfully,
Timothy M. O’Donnell
