Dear Pat

I see from your previous post the search seems to be concentrating in Abbeyfeale. I hope you will be able to further your research

Best wishes

Clare:

Mountcollins seems to be at the center of the search and links, but Tournafulla, Abbeyfeale and Newcastle in Limerick, and Brosna in Kerry are also ln the mix.  My effort at present is to reach out to any and all who have or had relatives in the overall general area, and whose lineage includes any of the families/clans that are showing up in my tree branches.

The top 2 are o'connor and lenihan, but cahill, o'connell, donahue, fitzgerald, heffernan, leahy are also high on the list.  

Thanks

Pat O'Connor
