For many years, all I knew about the ancestry of my second great-grandfather John Condon of Portsmouth, New Hampshire were the names of his parents from his 2nd marriage record (Patrick and Hannah Helant) and death record (Patrick and Hannora Helar). Digging into the naturalization records for Rockingham County later gave me his date of birth (Mar 1834) and place (County Waterford), as well as his arrival in the US (11 July 1851). Beyond this, I was at a brick wall.
In recent years, as more records came online, and technology has allowed us the ability to search using only parents names, I have been moving forward on this family. So far, I have found two sisters of John Condon who also came to the United States and settled in Lowell, MA. Information is not yet complete.
