(Ingram) Breen, compiled by the State Bar of Nevada, seems to imply that there is no direct connection this side of the Atlantic: http://www.nvbar.org/nevadalawyerarticles3.asp?Title=The+Breen+Family%3A+Legal+Pioneers The sketch describes the immigration of Peter Breen's grandfather (also Peter Breen) to the United States from Ireland. According to the information provided he traveled independently, entered North America by way of the Isthmus of Panama, and took up temporary residence in San Francisco before making the the trek out to Eureka. No citations are provided; presumably the source was his grandson, the Peter I. Breen who you remember from the Washoe County Courthouse. In contrast, Patrick Breen emigrated from Ireland to Canada in 1828, and resided there until traveling to the United States six years later, settling first in Illinois, and then Iowa. Hope this helps. Hi Lisa,

I worked at the Washoe County Courthouse for about 10 years. I worked with a Peter I. Breen. Is there any relation to the Breen's in the Donner Party? Any information would be grateful.
