Hi James, I think your O’Shannassey’s are a different line to mine. It seems there are many many O’Shannasseys around.

It’s great to have the opportunity to share here. I have photos of many of the O’Shannessy’s from Ireland that I believe settled in Victoria. My grandfather James Aloysius O’Shannessy came from Victoria and made his fortune on the goldfields in Kalgoorlie before settling down in Arrino, near Three Springs in Western Australia. He married Daisy Hackett. I have many photos taken in the early 1800′s.

Greeting,
I’m trying to find my family roots, that’s started by my grandfather from Clare county, to my father cedrick o’shannassey, changed during the ww2 in Europe fighting with allies against the german . Yet something took place thathe changed his name from cedrick o’sha…… to shedrack o’Shanna. My father since passed away in 2002. Age 88. Left me with sense of wonder and confusion with family hidden secrets, that are of mind prepelxing as to what when who, question that are far outweigh the answers. Can any one help me to trace my family roots. I’m in NSW Sydney Australia.
If any one has anything to add in helping me to find my family ancestry. I go by the name of James o’Shanna, when I been told its James o’shannassey

Dear Jan Crowe
My grandfather was William Crowe son of Bridget Oshannasey Crowe and I would be very grateful for a copy of her photograph if you still have one. William married Alice Conolly they lived in Western Australia and one of their daughters,Mary Patricia(Molly), was my mother.

I don’t know if Jan’s photo of Bridget was just for you or if anyone could apply. I would like one if possible as she was my great grandmother, and I would also like to contact Jan as we seem to be in the same branch of the family and I’ve never heard of her. If you can arrange either request I’d be most grateful.

I never really realized so many of this clan out here, from what my father has told me the O’Shaughnessy’s are related to my grandmother on my fathers side in the family. I’m just glad to here there are more of us.
