Conner-Gately Family of New Orleans

"Conner-Gately Family of New Orleans" is a compelling account of history and family genealogy. This work is concerned with the descendants of Michael Conner and Bridget Gately of County Roscommon, from Ireland to America spanning the years 1853-2020. Through good and sometimes very horrible times, they persevered, raising their families in a land of different ethnic backgrounds and customs. This is a must-read for anyone with an interest in history, family lineage, and the generational impact of the American dream.

Two brothers, John J., and Michael Conner, along with their mother Bridget Gately and stepfather John Moore, would be very proud of their descendants. Their religion gave them emotional and community support, along with first and second-generation Irish residents. As time passed, their descendants became engineers, railroad personnel, newspapermen, pharmacists, retail, and members of the police and fire departments. Many also went on to bravely serve in our armed forces.
