I am Marié Claassen de Vries.My husband Thys and I have compiled an O'Connell/Eager Family Tree abt our Irish as well as South African O'Connell/Eager Family.I am a descendant of DR.GEOFFREY O'CONNELL MARRIED TO ELIZABETH ROSS.Their 3 children MICHAEL*1804,JOHN*1811 & ELIZABETH * 1813at Hillgrove,Kerry,Ireland.After Geoffrey's death,Elizabeth remarried CHARLES EAGER in Ireland and they had a daughter ELIZA *19 Dec,1819 and they together with the O'Connell children and Eliza came to South Africa abt. 1820. They lived at George, South Africa. ELIZA EAGER married a KRITZINGER.Elizabeth and her daughter Elizabeth O'Connell and Eliza Eager are buried in the Roman Catholic Church Cemetery at George. We do not know what happened to CHARLES EAGER and would like to make contact with EAGERS who are in any way related to the O'CONNELLS. MICHAEL O'C *1804 was a very prominent business man from George and JOHN 1811 resided at Oudtshoorn where the first Roman Catholic Church were built on his farm Buffelsdrift, Oudtshoorn.
