I am looking for my father's relatives. He was born John O'Callaghan in June 1930 in Charleville to a single mother Alice O'Callaghan. I do not know anything about her parents or family. I have searched Irish Geneology and have found a few Alice O'Callaghan/Callaghan that are a possibility who were born in Cork and Limerick County's from 1900-1915.
Kind Regards
Joan

There is not enough information for us to assist you. Can I suggest you consider a DNA test and possibly you will have matches on your Callaghan line.

Thanks Roger,
I have done DNA tests through My Heritage and My Ancestry. I can provide more information. I just was not sure how much information was required.
Give me an idea of what sort of information please.
kind regards
Joan
Joan:
There are 10 Alice Callaghan/O'Callaghan civil births in either Cork or Limerick in the period 1900-1915. Do any of your matches on Ancestry/My Heritage have any data which might pinpoint a more specific location in Cork or Limerick so we can narrow down which birth might be her record? Did Alice emigrate and is there a census record that might narrow down the year Alice was born?

Hi Roger,
Thank you again for your reply. I can see by your questions that this is really not the best forum for my question because I don't have the answers. I was hoping that maybe someone on this website message board just might have known an Alice O'Callaghan as their aunt/great aunt, sister, cousin etc.
I don't have any matches with my DNA that connect me with my father's relatives. I have researched quite extensively on Irish Geneology Website and the census records for 1901 and 1911. I have located one Alice O'Callaghan born 1915 in Donneraile Cork and her family and Emigration - I am still waiting for the DNA confirmation from her relative but not very confident)
I appreciate you taking the time to reply to me.
Kind regards
