I'm trying to find out info on the connection to the family named for O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, Illinois USA.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_O%27Hare

Lieutenant Commander Edward Henry “Butch” O’Hare (March 13, 1914 – November 26, 1943)

Can't seem to find any connections as of yet in my family tree, perhaps I haven't dug far enough into it.

I've always been told that there was a connection, but I've been wanting to try and find out exactly how that connection occurs. I can't seem to find any info as of yet through Ancestry.ca

If anyone has any family info to possible connections to the O'Hares of Renfrew County that would be great.

Still kinda new to Ancestry, however I have found great amounts of info already on my family. To be honest, I've never seen any direct proof of this relation however which is why I'm trying to track down there family tree to see if there is in fact some sort of connection.

This shows that Butch's father, Edward Joseph O'Hare, was the son of Patrick Joseph O'Hare and Cecelia Ellen Malloy. Patrick was born in Illinois and Ceceilia was born in Ireland. Both of Patrick's parents were born in Ireland:
