Ellen O’Gara was my great-grandmother died before I was born, and I beleive my great-grandfather was Patrick O’Gara. Need to check on this to be sure. If there are any firewalls that hinder return email to this city in North Carolina use: My great-grandparents came from Ireland, but my grandmother and great aunt were born in Philadelphia, PA, in the later 1800′s.

I have just noticed the shield for O’Gara is the the same as Geary can anyone point me to further information? I have been concentrating on maternal side which is Coyle/Noone/O’Malley
I once visited a B and B across from the Waterford Crystal factory in Waterford and the lady there told me it was common knowledge that Geary was the anglicised name for O’Gara.
My great-great grandparent were John O’Gara and Ann O’Gara (Hogg). They had at least one child that I know of, my great grandfather Thomas O’Gara born in 1852 in Sligo Ireland. He is on the 1880 census of Woburn Massachusetts. According to the 1900 census of Somerville, Massachusetts he came to the US in 1873. I am unable to find the ship he came over on. Any help with locating him on a passenger list would be greatly appreciated. Please e-mail to karzak99@yahoo.com.

I think we might be related. My mother was Barbara Geary from Sommerville MA born 1929 and her father was I believe Walter Geary probably born around 1900. I seem to recall he had some brothers and I believe the name was John and the grandfather was Michael I think. The grandfather was a mounted police in NYC.
My maternal grandmother was Harriet B OGara. She had two brothers John OGara and Rodger OGara. Rodger had moved to the United States and lived in Rhode Island. The family moved to the United States about, 1921. Harriet attended nursing school and, was a nurse. I believe she worked at, Manhatten Hospital. She married Harold James Carpenter, ( nick name Bill)( from Williamsport PA.) had three children. Maternal grandfather worked as a chauffer. They resided in Brooklyn N.Y. ,Harriet OGara Carpenter passed away at age 29 yrs., from pnuemonia. My Mother,( their daughter) and her siblings were left with relatives, in Williamsport PA. with the last name of Fuller. They grew up with a wonderful foster family, by the name of Charles & Della Phillips, from Montgomery PA. My mother (Beverly B. Carpenter Snyder) passed away this year on May 10th 2011. There is one brother still living Harold James Carpenter, of Montgomery PA.. I am one of 6 children that my father (Lee E. Snyder) and my mother( Beverly B. Carpenter Snyder) gave a wonderful life to.

please note, that both the names Guiry, and Geary, are both variants of the name o’Gara, and all 3 families, are kinsmen to each other, all 3 names are interchangable, and through a period of history, of any family, associated with these names, all 3 variants may appear on either marriage, or baptismal certificates, so for instance if tracing Guiry, family relatives, Geary, may appear, on some certificates.
