The O'Hara Connection Three McLaughlins and one Major married people named O'Hara. Turns out there are several O'Haras on our extended family tree. We hope to prime the pump of information with these starter sets:
Sources: This History of the McLaughlin Family by Henry W. McLaughlin
and Edward F. McLaughlin, a former New York State supreme court
justice, though most of the information comes from a detailed family tree posted online by James Dougherty. I've also been contacted by many relatives, most of whom I have never met except online. Special thanks to cousins Charlie Major and Lisa Rigge.
I've also incorporated information found in various newspaper stories and obituaries. A terrific resource has been www.fultonhistory.com
My family trees are incomplete and likelycontain errors. Please sendcorrections to: JMajor9863@aol.com
Also, there remains some inconsistency on my part in the way some members of the family are referenced on the Family Trees pages and those in the Who's Who section and some who are included in both part of the website. Eventually (sooner than later, I hope) the two areas will be combined or at least cross-indexed better.
Finally, not all of the children of several of the people on this page – William James Major, for example – are listed separately. Some did not marry, thus have no children to list. For others it is simply a lack of information.
