Hello I was wondering if anybody had information on my family from Tipperary -  Seskin Solohead & Oola Parish

Thank you so much Mary for your very quick response! And for the sibling list, as per my email, I was informed of only one sibling, now the family have three more, which is amazing!

 And so much more info you have provided with the confirmation of the Coffey branch of the tree 

Would there be any families still residing in the these areas that could possibly be realitives of mine? I am visiting in Feb 26 and would love to meet 

How do I go about meeting a volunteer

Many thanks and warmest wishes of the season to you Mary :)
