Hi,

Thank you very much for your message and for sharing this information on the Ireland Reaching Out message board! This will be very useful for anyone researching the same family.

I hope that someone who knows of the the O? Keefe?s or has information on them makes a connection with you to help further your research.

Please be patient - as our programme has only begun to rollout across the island of Ireland and volunteers in some areas may not yet be organized.

Kind regards,
