My great grand mother Catherine Dennehy was from Carriganima, and married James Kelleher of Toames East Macroom. She was born in 1852 and died 1925.
Would any of her relations be still living in the Carriganima area? I would love to make contact.

Joe Walsh of Cahir, Co Tipperary sent us this very interesting photo and family history:

“The attached may be of interest. I think they are young Duggans c1905. Agatha (Buckley) Duggan left her pub in the west end to niece Gretta Griffin. Who died c 1992.

My great great grandfather was Jeremiah O’Sullivan of Millstreet (c1840), whose daughter Hannah married Thomas Griffin (from Mayo) and they ran a draper shop in Millstreet (1890s-1940). I think it was Corcorans later. Their daughter Mary Griffin married Jim Walsh of Cahir (where Hannah is buried), and son Tom, who stayed in Millstreet and married a Buckley – their Daughter Gretta ran a pub ‘Tanglewood’ until her death in 1992.”

If you can connect with the photo / history, leave a reply below, or send Joe an email at: <email>

My name is Kristin O’Connor from Richmond VA. I have been researching my family history and have located the death certificate for my Great Grandfather, Jeremiah (Jerome) O’Connor from Duarrigle, Cork. I believe him to be the younger son on this census record link below. I am interested in learning anything I possibly can about these O’Connor’s past and present.

According to family lore; Jeremiah was involved in the militia, and he was also intending to, and studying to be a priest; yet left under significant disgrace for marriage to a young woman (Alice Hays?). He emigrated to NYC and started his young family with Alice. His eldest son, my grandfather Edward Joseph, was nine years old when his father Jeremiah(Jerome) was mysteriously shot and killed. I’m hoping to learn more about this Duarrigle family, the O’Connor’s before them, and any corroborating information about his life in Derragh. http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Cork/Derragh/Duarrigle/1150207/

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Millstreet …
Most sincerely, Kristin O’Connor from Richmond Virginia

A recently completed research project for me traced my family back to Denis and Ellen Buckley from Knocknakilla, Millstreet, Cork. Going back to the mid 1800′s. Their children born around 1850 are; James, Daniel, Patrick, Manor, Michael, Denis, Edmund and John. The only knew that I know who went to America was Richard my great grandfather who settled in Boston. I am wondering if there are currently any Buckley’s currently residing in Knocknakilla.
I will be in Kenmare the middle of next week and plan on coming to Millstreet probably on Wednesday and would very much like to make contact with any of the family currently residing in the area.

Any assistance you might be able to provide would be immensely appreciated. All the best Jack Buckley – 0873581250.

Hi, I’ve been researching my ancestry and have found Nora Reardon (or Honora Riordan), my great-grandmother, was baptized on Feb. 16, 1873 and her parents were Eugene Reardon & Catherine Sullivan. She had five siblings, Peter, Cornelius, Bridget, Eugene, John. She came to the U.S. in 1895 on the ship Teutonic. I know the family lived in Millstreet. Are there any relatives still living in Millstreet? I would be very interested to know. Please contact me at <email> if you have any info. Thank you,  Patty Anderson.

Our Great Great Grandfather we think was called John. He had at least 2 sons: Cornelius b.1849 and Dennis b.1854 (our Great Grandfather.) The story goes that he remarried and raised a second family who may have inherited the family farm. This could explain the emigrations of Cornelius and Dennis – Cornelius went to America where he became a successful lawyer.

Dennis our Great Grandfather claimed to have been born in Millstreet in 1854. He was associated with a Colonel Elliot with whom he left for England as his servant. The colonel died very shortly afterwards leaving Dennis stranded in Bath where he continue reading…

Stephen O’Connell requests help locating any decendants of Maurice O’Connell: My family geneology, as far as I know, has Maurice O’Connell arriving in the United States circa 1880, having left from Cork, Ireland with his wife Catherine Cronin, and several of his children. Family word had them residing in or near Millstreet, where they had a farm which was lost because it was used to guarantee a failed debt of Catherine’s brother. I have a Church Baptism record for Hanora Connell, from Lisgoold, Cork dated April 12, 1865. Parents listed as Maurice Connell and Catherine Cronin and sponsored by Arthur Leary and Abigail Cronin. On the right is a photo of Maurice.

I am interested in getting in touch with any descendants or family members of the Murrays who lived in Ballydaly from about 1909 to the 1940s. Denis Murray who came from Curraleigh married (in 1909) Nora Breen whose family lived in Ballydaly during the 1800s. My grandfather from England visited the Murrays during WW2 in 1940 and 1941. I would like to shed some light on the reasons for his visits.

Hello from Boston ! I am attempting to trace my family back to Millstreet in the early 1800′s. Would you by any chance know of someone local that undertakes geaneology research for hire ?

I suspect my great great grandfather Denis Buckley and his wife Ellen Buckley nee Welch /Walsh came from Millstreet. Dennis and Ellen had at least one son Richard D. Buckley born around Nov. 1845. He emigrated to America in 1861 and settled in Bosto. I believe Ellen’s fater was Edmond Walsh from Millstreet born around 1822.

I would apreciate any help or guidance you may be able to provide as I will be in Kenmare in early Oct. and would love to visit Millstreet if I can establish a family connection.

All the best, Jack Buckley ( <email> )
