This is the homepage of the "Nova Scotia" / Saint Martin O'Connor's: The sons and daughters of Jeremiah Conner and Rebecca Smith.
Jeremiah was born in 1807 (Saint Martin or Nova Scotia, unknown) and died on the 17th of august of the year 1855. His childeren were:

The story is that the first O'Connor
came sailing as captain on a ship (schooner) to the beautifull island of Saint Martin ,one
of the dutch Winward islands in the Carribean. Charles Louis is our
great-great-grandfather who married Angelina Halley (16-2-1856?) and had the following

Robert Benjamin (1870)
Mathilda Armanda (1870)
George Frederick (1876)
On the 18th of August 1914, William Frederick Conner received permission to change his surname back to the original O'Connor.
We do not know from where in Ireland this O'Connor clan orriginated,
although we got some information that it could be Kerry or Kilkenny....? We stick to the
old interpretation of O'Connaught :
'Childeren of
Connaught'
We are the great (grand) childeren of William Frederick O'Connor
See next page on his childeren
Also do not forget to go to our Saint Martin page: Saint
Martin
The slogan on the royal O'Connor crest reads:
which translates optionally into
'From god (comes) every help'
or 'We need all the help god can give us!'
