Helen's Family Trees

   Last updated 28 June 2009 

Hello and welcome to my genealogy website. I’m Helen O'Connor, I’m Irish-born, currently living in the UK, and since 2002 I’ve been researching my family history along with that of my husband, Joe Gordon. The information on this site is what I've come up with so far, with much help from others.

The families directly related ancestrally to me or Joe are all from Ireland, with roots in the following counties:

Carlow

Cork

Dublin

Kerry

Leitrim

Limerick

Roscommon

Sligo

Tipperary

You’ll find a chart of our family tree by clicking on Our Family Tree on the panel on the left, and below you’ll see a list of our ancestral families. Unfortunately, little information is available on some of these families, although I continue to make progress thanks now mainly to information I receive from visitors to this site. If you think you can add anything, however small, I would love to hear from you. You can contact me by sending an email to Helen@HelensFamilyTrees.com

For a detailed narrative account of each family in our tree, please click on one of the family names below; or for a basic list of descendants from each family, click on Reports on the panel on the left; or for indexes of the approximately 750 surnames and 6,000 individuals in our extended families, please click here.
