There are several storys that go with this family I am trying verify. But I will start with this one it is said that the family owned a castle in Baltimore County Cork Ireland where ships were built I was told by a family member that when the father of the the 3 boy died the estate was to go to the oldest son but beings he was deceased the estate was held by the British Crown for 100 years then I was told that in 1904 a Chicago attorney contacted Bartholomew O'Driscoll to claim the estate and he refused. Any one have any ideas on how to verify this story and where I might begin to look for verification.
