Hi Lisa,I think Ya'll have got the wrong townland.The Roger-Sullivan's lived in Ardaragh not Ardagh-easy to get those mixed up,Either spelling Bere or Beare is correct.

Thanks Jim, Are Ardaragh and Ardagh both on Bere Island, where our family is from? And now that I look again, Riobard notes Roger, et al, are from Ardra! Now I'm really confused, hehe. I know we have O'Sullivan SEER in the family too.....
