Looking for Irish side?

Question:I'm looking for my great great grandfather, named Michael O'Hara. I have no idea where or when he was born, but I know that he married Celista Barbar and had a child named Mildred O'Hara born 6 Jan 1870, Wisconsin, USA. Besides this I know that he was Irish. I'm not sure if he was directly from Ireland or if his ancestors were.

I'd bet 10:1 the e-mail address bounces, but you could try it.

================================

Michael died before 1880 - or ran away to Argentina to manage the polo ponies of a raven-haired heiress, and Celistina lied to cover her shame. Here the family is in 1880, from the LDS site. That first "W" in Celestina's line means "Widowed":
