Mr. Blaine, the donovan who is looking for info about the Willowbrook State School isn't me. Thank you for the answer to the riddle! The name is always O'Donovan, it is one of The Names, but even in County Cork you will find the O' has been dropped by families. My own greatgrandfather dropped it when he came to the US in order to seem less like a greenhorn. Doing genealogy as a hobby, I've learned to disregard the absence or presence of the O'.
