Barton; I have found many Roche names and families in the Castletownroche section of Co. Cork and nearby areas. This in the NE section of Co. Cork I did a search of Co. Cork with google-yahoo search engine for "Roche Genealogy Cork" and got the following results http://google.yahoo.com/bin/query?p=roche+genealogy+cork&hc=0&hs=0 There are a number of Parkers in the same area. I haven't searched for Cahill and Dennehy before but got these results using the same keywords as above. Cahill- http://google.yahoo.com/bin/query?p=cahill+genealogy+cork&hc=0&hs=0 Dennehy- http://google.yahoo.com/bin/query?p=dennehy+genealogy+cork&hc=0&hs=0 As there are 77 to 280 hits found in these searches, you might find something in them that will help tear down that "Brick Wall". I trust this will be the case. For you folks looking for your ancestors, if you haven't tried using these keywords in your web site searches (changing the surname), it might help you too. No promises! But it has been very helpful to me. You might also want to search just in a particular Parish or Townland without the surname to see what comes up. For instance using keywords of "Castletownroche genealogy Cork" or "Cork genealogy" or "Castletownroche History Cork", etc. You all probably know these things already, but thought it might help someone. You can find the google and yahoo search engines (they are now one and the same) at http://www.yahoo.com Be sure to explore the web sites that are in these hits. Some have search engines for the content of that site. Put your surname in and find where on these sites the surname exists in that site. Also, for the various sites found in your yahoo or other search engine results, be sure to try the "trick" of trimming back the web site address initially given, one slash level at a time, exploring what comes up at each slash level of the address. Often times I have found startling results and new things never imagined. When you get down to the internet service provider, especially if in Ireland, you might find the other web sites that are stored on that internet service providers web site. Ginny Swanton's and Wolfe Family web sites have been extremely helpful to me.
