Well it seems I am arriving late to the Bailo family reunion! Hello everyone, my name is Louise Ryan, daughter of Catherine "cathy" O connor and granddaughter of George O Connor, who was a son of Mary Bailo and Thomas Connor who married in 1914. Granddad was head of roadstone in Arklow Co Wicklow and married Margaret "Peg" O Connor, my nana.
It seems we are all connected. I have added Georgina Power and Andrew Kelly to my widely growing timeline and family tree.
I was just chatting with my mam about Patricia power who worked for Cybil Connoly who was a famous dress designer in Dublin. It seems that granny o connor AKA Mary Bailo (daughter of Giuseppe bailo and Mary gillen) crocheted lace collars for the dresses in Mrs connoly's shop.
Anyway, I am getting distracted! I was wondering has anymore info come to light on the Bailos? In my family it has been passed down that Joseph "Giuseppe " bailo came to Ireland as he was a skilled stone mason and was brought over to cut stone for a small church in Dublin.
I'd love to hear from you all, best regards, Louise

Re: Looking for great great Grandparent from genoa or genova?
Hi Louise, how're you keeping?
I'm Cathy's 1st cousin, Maria.
I see that people think that our ancestor is Mary Anne Gillen, but that's not correct. Poor Mary Anne died shortly after her little baby son, Salvatore. Joseph then remarried, another Mary! If it helps your search the timelines are:
1876 Joseph Bailo married Mary Anne Gillen
1876 Salvatore Bailo born
1876 Salvatore Bailo died
1877 Mary Anne Bailo died
1878 Joseph Bailo married Mary Geraghty
Give my love to all the clan, and keep in touch!

Hi All,
I am Peter Gray, the grandson of Patricia Power. My Dad, Robert (Bobby) Gray is Patricias son and I am first cousin of Dermot who was mention earlier. Matbre I believe you may have met Dermot and the family before and I met a few of you when ye were in Dublin many moons ago but I would have been an infant.
I am just doing my AncestryDNA pack and came across this chat and wondering if anyone found any other info?
