| Abstract: | The O'Brien family originally came from county Galway, Ireland, and members of this family immigrated from Ireland to the United States from 1848 to 1897. Philip O'Brien completed the family genealogy and traced his roots back to 1835. O'Brien's great grandparents, Dennis and Alice Callaghan, were born in Ireland and immigrated during the Great Famine (1845-1850) first to England, and then to the United States in 1848. They settled in the Irish neighborhood known as the Angle, on West 25th Street and Washington Avenue in Cleveland Ohio. Three generations of his family fought in the Spanish American War, World War I, World War II, and the Korean War. The collection consists of death records, genealogies, baptisms, cemetery records, necrology records, essays, pedigree chart and United States Federal Census records. | ||
