I'm just getting started on researching my ancestors from County Cork. This is what I know so far. Some of this has been documented, some of this has been passed down word of mouth. I would love to hear from anyone else researching Twohills. Dennis TWOHILL (born abt. 1834) and Julia SPILLANE ( born abt. 1838) married abt. 1859 Their children: Bridget (born 1860) married George RILEY - immigrated to Connecticut, USA Michael (born 1864) married Ellen MURPHY - immigrated to Connecticut (my great-grandparents) Julia (born 1866) Dennis - immigrated to Connecticut, USA Minnie - James - maybe immigrated to New York Frank - immigrated to Connecticut Edward - immigrated to Connecticut The thought is there are more siblings that remained in Ireland. Also, if anyone could point me to some good reference material (online or print) on what Rathcormack was like during the 18th and 19th centuries, it would be appreciated. Thank you, Lynda Rogers Ankeny, IA

Lynda If it is just a general description you want then Samuel Lewis published 'A Topographical Dictionary of Ireland' in 1837, I have extracted a few sections including Rathcormac and posted them to my web site. http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/hanson/Rathcormac.html Do you know where your ancestors were in Rathcormac? my Hurley family had a mill at Behernagh Lower on the edge of Rathcormac civil parish.
