I would appreciate any information you may have regarding my great-great grandfather, James Patrick O’Connor, married to Elizabeth Erickson of Wisconsin having 13 children. He was a blind shopkeeper in the Forest City area in the late 1800′s. After his death, she left with her children to join her sister in Renville, Minnesota. If you know anything of my family of so long ago I would be so happy to hear from you.
Gratefully,
Barbara O’Connor
