My great, great, great grandfather was Abraham Birchill from County Cork. He married Catherine Hurley. They lived in the area around Skibbereen. His eldest daughter was Mary Birchill. She was baptised in the Parish of Aughadown in the townland of Dromnacaheragh. I would love to know where Abraham came from as I have been told he was a settler in Ireland?
County Cork, or Corcaigh in Irish, is the southernmost county in Ireland and also the largest county. It is known as “The Rebel County”. We are home to the Blarney Stone and known for our beaches and beautiful scenery. We have a population of approximately 542,196. We look forward to helping you connect with your ancestors’ place of origin.
