I am trying to help a friend who has relatives called O'Driscoll or possibly Driscoll. It would have been in the late 1800's - early 1900's that 5 sisters moved from Newfoundland to Pasadena, California. They all remained spinsters and used to run an old people's home in Pasadena. One of them was called Mariah O'Driscoll and I wondered if anyone could help me re this query. Thanks. Angela

Hi Angela,
Do you have the other sisters names and rough birthdates ?
Have you found them in the Canadian censuses ?
Haven't found Mariah in California yet. Sometime it is easier to find them as a group.
