Hello Everyone
I am seeking information on the O'Keefe family from Crusheen and surrounds. The ancestor I have is Thomas O'Keefe born about 1845 and died in 1925 at Erskineville, near Sydney in New South Wales, Australia.
I believe his parents are John O'Keefe and Bridget McNamara.
I would like to find anyone who has information or a connection to this family.

Hi R J Smith
Yes, we are aware of the O'Keefe Brewing Company in Canada. Our daughter visited it in 1996. Haven't found a connection yet but always looking.

I'm looking for a Mary Keeffe who marieed John Hynchy in the 1830's and gave birth to my 2xs great grand mother, Hannah. I can't find anything on her except for the birth record. They were living in Derrycalliff near Ballinruan. At that time, the area was part of Clooney. Any thoughts would be helpful! Thanks...Chris Cusack
Hi Wendy,
Did you find out anything about John O'Keefe and his parents? I think my ancestor was his sister Bridget.
According to her marriage certificate her parents were John O'Keefe and Bridget McNamara.
Bridget O'Keefe was also born around 1845 (maybe they were twins). She married Daniel Sheehan in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia on 29 June 1866. She died in 1906 in Warragul, Victoria, Australia.
If you have found any info about their parents I would love to know.

Opps I mean Thomas O'Keefe and his parents.
